Good overview of the political divide over immigration, covering both state-level and national groups and policies.
A balanced piece mentioning compelling context and solid trends to watch as politicians and their constituents move towards November 2nd. Shows clearly how politicians are being affected by this hot-button issue.
This is basic coverage of a story that has been on the media's radar for some time now. There is really no new information provided. The story offers far more space to those who support the Arizona law and only a nod to those who oppose it which may reflect public sentiment, but is not balanced.
This article presents both sides of the dilemma, with ample examples to support Kiely's facts. Very informative.
no. the media is always painting people against illegal immigration as against immigration which is not true. "an immigration hard-liner” "an illegal immigration hard-liner” would be more accurate. Words matter. By using the term illegal immigrant your words are legitimizing these people. They are trespassing. Immigrants come here legally. The proper term is illegal alien. The other side will say this term dehumanizes the trespassers. "an illegal alien hard-liner” would be more even more accurate.

Who are the coalition of hispanic groups. Some of the boys standing down at the corner? It appears to be that the politicians running for office get it or they need it, to run for there office. The people in the SouthWest get it and the rest of the country gets it but the people in Wash D.C. don't get it The Hispanic people also must understand that a lot of illegal people coming into this country are not Hispanic and some of them could be terroist. And besides if you want to come to ... More »

Yes! This article is excellent journalism! It had no biases. Have plenty of pro and con arguments. It states the problem in these arguments very well too. I have no bad comment on this story.
Nothing reported here is new news! It also doesn't explain the AZ law nor point out that many of the opponents never read the law they are opposed to! This report only mentions one of the most obvious reasons this law is supported in AZ: "the still-unsolved March shooting of rancher Robert Krenntz"--but there is no mention that Krentz was murdered.
