IllegalAliens-2.jpg
Our May 5 cover story–headlined “Should Illegal Aliens Get Workers' Comp?”–generated quite a stir, and not because of the content. It was the image with the article–depicting an Hispanic man in a wheelchair with crutches, holding both an American and Mexican flag–that drew reader complaints.


We didn't get a lot of negative feedback–a few e-mails, a couple of phone calls. But those who did respond were upset, angry and offended over what they perceived as NU's message–that the illegal immigration problem is primarily due to violations of our border by Mexican citizens.

Not true, these readers said, pointing out that not all Mexicans working here are undocumented, and that illegal aliens are also coming in large numbers from Central and South America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, as well as from India and Pakistan.
