Your Opinion: Headline off-target

Dear Editor:

Mark Twain said "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed."

I think a good example of being mis-informed is the Tribune's Monday headline, "Immigrants wait in fear after raids." I think the headline should have said "Illegal alien felons wait in fear after raid."

Legal immigrants have nothing to fear. However illegal aliens that have committed felonies do not belong in this country and your head line should reflect the correct message.
