WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 /Christian Newswire/ -- BoycottNYT.com editor Don Feder said today that in a recent story, The New York Times left out an important detail in the Chandra Levy murder case -- that the man who soon may be charged with her murder, Ingmar Guandique, is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador.
"Each year, illegal aliens rape, rob and murder tens of thousands of Americans, as well as leaving a trail of carnage on our nation's highways. The incidence of crime for illegals is 50% higher than it is for the rest of the population. It's conservatively estimated that 30% of the inmates in the California prison system are illegal aliens," Feder wrote.
"If we'd started enforcing our immigration laws a decade ago, Chandra Levy would probably be alive today, as would the three college-bound African-American teens who were killed execution-style by two illegal aliens in Newark in September, 2007," he added.
Feder noted that The Times recently published an editorial advising Republicans that "opposing future amnesty proposals and pushing border-enforcement was the path to political extinction." Despite the paper's out-of-touch views, he said, most voters are concerned about "the predators among the hordes who pour over our borders each year."
"For The New York Times to push kindness for illegal immigrants in its editorials is merely moronic. To leave out a crucial detail in a 'news story' about a sensational crime goes beyond stupidity. The Times is guilty of bias in the first degree," Feder concluded.
Feder's commentary on the subject is available here.
