The Tampa Tribune today (8-26-200 ran an editorial blaming a crimes spree committed by illegal aliens on the Capitol for not enforcing immigration laws. The Tribune has run many articles and editorials sympathetic to immigrants, I think this is the first time they used the phrase 'illegal immigrant' as opposed to 'undocumented'. This is what I wrote in response to them, I doubt it gets published.

The Tampa Tribune is part of the problem when discussing illegal immigration, not just the White House and governments that refuse to enforce or obey our own laws as your editorial Tuesday 8-26-2008 suggests.
Despite multiple violent crimes committed against U.S. Citizens by illegal aliens you still can't bring yourselves to print the correct legal term for 'illegal immigrants', which is Illegal Alien. This says much about your paper and the bias it holds against U.S. Citizens in favor of criminals from other countries. You down play immigrant crimes and magnifying citizen resistance of illegals into racism, despite the fact both groups are made up of all skin colors, the only real difference is one group obeys the law and the other doesn't yet you align with the criminals against the citizens.
The 'Undocumented Immigrant' label certainly does not apply in the case of Rigoberto Moron Martinez and and his cohorts who raped and robbed with abandon in the Tampa Bay area despite the fact Martinez was arrested and found to be an illegal alien, but not punished or deported. Our law enforcement agencies dropped the ball by not following up on this criminal, but he WAS 'documented', then set free to continue committing crimes on citizens.
The media (that's you) has taken a sympathetic approach to 'undocumented' aliens running multiple stories of their difficulties and their accomplishments while ignoring their negative impact on US Citizens, our taxes, our government and the rule of law.
"How do we Citizens get our employees, the government, to obey and enforce our laws while the media resists enforcement and makes the law breakers sympathetic characters despite their criminal lifestyles?"
The next question is, 'Which other laws do aliens get to ignore and still remain sympathetic, while we Citizens are expected to obey them all?'
There is no 'Equal Protection' under the law as long as some law breakers are protected from prosecution while Citizens are expected to obey every law and are labeled 'racist' by the media when we want the law enforced.
If you don't like the law then work within the system to change it, until then OBEY the law and encourage others, including our local, state and federal government 'Undocumented immigrants' and the media to obey the law too!
