Last night Vicki Mayberry did an illegal immigration story on Nightline about a city that's fighting back against landlords housing illegal alien tenants and as usual, she was labeling everyone trying to deal with the illegal alien problem as "racist." She implied that the town was so small, they shouldn't worry about it. I have previously seen Terry Moran another Nightline regular host do the same thing, calling others "racist" when they really weren't. I'm sick of the media and the activists getting away with this dirty trick of name-calling and getting away with it.

Couldn't find a link on the Nightline page, but there was discussion about what I just said, like the following:

On the 9/20 broadcast there was a story about a small town in Missouri that was trying to crack down on illegal immigrants who settled in their town, and on at least two occasions, I heard people in the interview, including the ABC reporter, use the word "racist" to describe these actions.

This is NOT racism. These people in Missouri are standing up for the rule of law and trying to protect their homes, their jobs, and their city. They are having to do this, like many other towns throughout the US, because our federal government has failed to live up to their responsibilites for the last 20 years to protect us.

You folks should really look up the meaning of the words "racist" and "illegal" and take care to use them properly.
