“Illegal im” is missing

Posted on March 13, 2008

Create Word Macro -Search and replace”Illegal im” with NULL

Apply to all AP stories on Illegal immigrants and you get:

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The migrants board rickety boats in the dark, taking orders from inexperienced seamen. From sandy Mexican shores popular with weekend tourists, they can see downtown San Diego’s lights when the sky is clear.

Smugglers who charge them about $4,000 each for the illegal crossing often use two boats with different crews for the short trip, forcing them to change at sea, authorities say. That way, the hired hands will have less to tell if they are captured.

U.S. officials and academics suspect heightened enforcement on land is pushing migrants to gamble their lives on the kind of dangerous voyages - on flimsy watercraft and with little regard for winter - more commonly associated with Cubans and Haitians braving the Florida Straits.

Now I mentally apply the opposite Macro to these stories in order to understand the true story - of course I have embellished my reverse Macro to also replace the immigrant part with alien and we then have the un PC version.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The illegal aliens board rickety boats in the dark, taking orders from inexperienced seamen. From sandy Mexican shores popular with weekend tourists, they can see downtown San Diego’s lights when the sky is clear.
