In case you missed it.......

Front Page Magazine  has a very succinct and very pointed article today...

Leftists Vandalize Paper for Calling Illegal Aliens, "Illegal"

It’s not just Muslims who are offended by hearing the truth.
A California newspaper will continue to use the term “illegals” to describe people who enter the U.S. without permission, despite an attack on its building by vandals believed to object to the term.
The Santa Barbara News-Press’s front entrance was sprayed with the message “The border is illegal, not the people who cross it” in red paint, sometime either Wednesday night or early Thursday, according to the newspaper’s director of operations, Donald Katich. The attack came amid wider objections to a News-Press headline that used the word “illegals” alongside a story on California granting driver’s licenses to people in the country illegally. …
“It has been the practice for nearly 10 years at the Santa Barbara News-Press to describe people living in this country illegally as “illegals” regardless of their country of origin,” the statement read. “This practice is under fire by some immigration groups who believe that this term is demeaning and does not accurately reflect the status of “undocumented immigrants,” one of several terms other media use to describe people in the Unites States illegally.
“It is an appropriate term in describing someone as “illegal” if they are in this country illegally,” the statement added.
These days the dictionary is becoming controversial. How long until this is described as “Illegalphobia”?
