Anyone who follows the immigration debate knows the distinction is between legal and illegal.
The fact that that the Sun ignores this distintion in its fawning coverage of Bloomberg's state of the city address is insulting to readers who expect this type of dishonest, agenda journalism from the NY Times.
The Sun is a very good paper, intelligently written. It appeals to those who appreciate critical thinking. Yet, its obsession with Bloomberg for president is just plain weird since more often than not it disagrees with him and his nanny state mentality.
Why would the Sun insult its own readers with such an obvious strawman argument? The paper should know its audience and not allege xenophobia.
