A Houston Reader Says The Chronicle Never Quits Its Immigration Advocacy

From: George Weinbaum (e-mail him)

Re: Patrick Cleburne’s Blogs: Un PC Results From The Houston Area Survey and The Houston Area Survey: Rotten To The Core

The Houston Chronicle never quits promoting immigration.

According to a recent Chronicle op-ed:

"The reality is that the overwhelming numbers of businesses never knowingly hire anyone they believe is here illegally". 

Why should we believe this? Because the op-ed’s author, Jay Aiyer, said so, that’s why.

Who is Aiyer? An immigration lawyer at Houston’s Tindall and Foster office!

Aren't you impressed? 

What’s Aiyer’s answer to the illegal alien swamp ? 

He recommends:

"…A comprehensive approach that acknowledges the reality that we have more than 12 million hardworking individuals here who lack status but play a crucial role in our daily lives". [“Stop Making Employers the Immigration Enemy,” Jay Aiyer, Houston Chronicle, May 8, 2008]

Weinbaum is diligently monitoring the Chronicle’s bias. Previous letters from him exposing their shoddy journalism are here and here.

Joe Guzzardi adds: As awful as Aiyer’s column is, the fact that the Chronicle identified him as an immigration lawyer may represent a minor triumph. Often similar pro-immigration editorials in the MainStream Media are published without that reference.

Send Aiyer mail here; Tindall and Foster here; and contact James Howard Gibbons, editor of the Chronicle’s editorial page, to inquire when equal space will be given to opposing but fact-based arguments challenging Aiyer’s opinion. Gibbons’ e-mail is here.
