For a long time I’ve chafed at the editorializing on the Journal’s front page. I’m speaking about the way headlines buttress conservative versions of the news. Take for example Thursday’s blazing “House passes SAVE America Act.” The only thing this Republican measure will do is to make it harder for low-income, working Americans to vote, a fact that is highlighted in the body of the article. A truer headline might be “House passes voter suppression act.” I suggest you read your articles before grinding your axes.
Sorry Lee - the majority of US citizens support this law, and that includes all minorities by a significant margin. What makes you believe that those on the lower economic scale do not have the wherewithal to obtain proof of citizenship? Don't they fly, apply for benefits, have a driver license, enter secure buildings? Your argument is frankly not supported by facts and earlier studies. Don't fall for the claptrap of our local lockstep legislators.
