JOSE ANTONIO VARGAS CHALLENGES NYT and AP TO DROP
"ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT"
Starting today, a non-profit founded by Jose Antonio Vargas,
a journalist, activist, and undocumented immigrant, will begin monitoring the
use of the phrase "illegal immigrant" in the media, with the goal of
shifting the conversation around the issue.
"Right now, my main targets, and I say that politely,
are going to be The New York Times and the Associated Press, "Vargas told
reporters after his keynote address at the 2012 Online News Association
Conference and Award Banquet in San Francisco
Vargas, who has written about his own struggles with
immigration status in The New York Times Magazine and Time, suggested that
outlets us undocumented immigrant or engage in a conversation about
alternatives to "illegal."
"The term dehumanizes and marginalizes the people it
seeks to describe," Vargas said. "Think of it way, in what other
context do we call illegal?"
Vargas, who came to the U.S. Philippines
"Ironically, describing an immigrant as
"illegal" is legally inaccurate, "he said. "Being in a country without proper
documented is a civil offense, not a criminal one.
JOSE ANTONIO VARGUS, IMMIGRANT ACTIVIST, WILL NOT FACE IMMIGRATION CHARGES
Former Washington Post
journalist turned immigration reformed activist, Jose Antonio Vargas, an
undocumented immigrant himself, speaks in Washington In June. Immigration
authorities said Monday, Oct. 8, 2012 ,
they won't take action against the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who was
arrested in Minnesota

Vargas, who reveled his undocumented status in 2011, was
apprehended at the Minneapolis-St. Paul
Airport
He still must appear in court Oct. 18 for the traffic
violation, the Times reported.
Vargas was brought from the Philippines
LLEGAL MEANS JUST THAT! Illegal: not lawful; against the law; forbidden by
law. Adj – illegally, adv.
Our entire life is governed by
laws, rather it be the games we play to the way we conduct our day to day
activities there has been some kind of rule(s) involved. Therefore it don’t matter what the age of the
person operating a motor vehicle without a license, he or she is doing it
illegally; because the law say it is illegal to do so. That also goes for operating a motor vehicle
intoxicated. Both of these were poor
examples coming from a person that spent his whole life evading the laws of
this country. As a black person that’s
all we have ever know is being dehumanize, therefore once again Jose Antonio
Vargas has used a word that he has yet to grasp the meaning of; which don’t
say much for a person that is suppose to be a journalist. So if is smell like shit, well chances are it
is shit, because everyone knows what shit smells like and that is what Jose
A.Vargas been talking.
Second: How does a person become an activist fighting
for (illegal immigrants) rights when
neither party where born here in the United States America
Third: Being in any county without the proper
documents is illegal/against the law
rather it is looked upon as a civil offense by Vargas, it is still consider as
a criminal act in which you are breaking the laws of this or that country
because you have no civil rights established when you are not recognized as a
citizen of this or that country due to the like of non-documents/undocumented,
a word Vargas want to replace in the United States too and in the dictionary
for illegal. I haven’t practice law, but
I have common sense to know right from wrong and a lot of “Law and Order” under
my belt to know Jose A. Vargas is full of it.
“Starting today, a non-profit
founded by Jose Antonio Vargas, a journalist, activist, and undocumented
immigrant, will begin monitoring the use of the phrase "illegal
immigrant" in the media, with the goal of shifting the conversation around
the issue”.
"Right now, my main targets,
and I say that politely, are going to be The New York Times and the Associated
Press." This is nothing more than a
scam to solicit money without having to pay taxes and go unreported and an
attempt to get other illegal immigrants documented for a price. So let him
monitor this! Let me say this politely,
If The New York Times or any other media outlet start letting immigrants
dictate what to print and not to print they will be running this country and we
will be the foreigners. For THINKING OUT
