Tulsa, OK TV 8: Immigrants ‘Afraid’ in The USA
This from Stop the ACLU
Sphere: Related ContentApparently, TV 8 (KTUL) in Tulsa, Oklahoma, wants us to know that illegal immigrants are all cowering in fear or streaming out of the USA today because of the crackdown on illegal immigration in the Sooner state.
The Tulsa TV folks are trying to make it seem as if there is a climate of fear for illegals even as our government is bending over backwards to comfort illegal immigrants not to mention the fact that many thousands of illegals brazenly paraded, without being molested by bystanders or authorities, in the streets of several large US cities in protest for their “rights” not long ago.
So how much “fear” could there be in the illegal underground in the USA? And why is KTUL trying to fan those flames?The fearmongering and sensationalism by the TV report, “Hispanic Families Begin Packing Up & Moving Out”, is palpable and, it seems to me that their opening claim is a bit suspect.
Thousands of Tulsa families are now packing up and moving out in light of Oklahoma’s new immigration law. Police and deputies can ask about citizenship when a person is arrested and if someone can’t prove it, that person can be deported. We spoke with one family that says it’s leaving Tulsa next week.
KTUL assures us that “Thousands of families are leaving because they don’t want to get deported.” But, thousands? I’d like to see some proof of that… not that the TV station helps us out with anything like “proof” of their clams. KTUL just states them like the Gospel truth without trying to prove anything. Additionally, TV 8 also doesn’t seem to mention where these “thousands” are moving to.
The story is written so that the conclusion might be reached by the viewer that these illegals are moving back to Mexico, but — once again — TV 8 does not give us anything like enough facts to say so. TV 8 tries to foster the feeling that all these illegals are moving back to Mexico, without really saying it directly in their report.
