Billboard Controversy
Even I find this billboard offensive. If Mexicans love Mexico so much, they should stay there otherwise learn to live and respect this country. Spanish television does not promote illegal immigration as these people seem to think. It's a business; the demand is there and someone is going to make money off it. However, crossing off CA and replacing it with Mexico is pretty insulting to all of us who live in CA.
New billboards advertising a Spanish-language newscast on KRCA-TV Channel 62 were intended as an attention-grabber for its core audience, but instead have struck a nerve with activists seeking to curb illegal immigration.
Daryl Jurbala, communications director for Americans for Legal Immigration said that
"I don't think it's responsible for anyone to encourage or reward or try to make illegal immigrants feel welcome."Posted by rdreyes at May 3, 2005 10:21 AM
