Good ratings on the Univision station in Sacramento!!

This is what someone wrote about an unrelated story about the station's popularity.

Channel 19's non-english news ratings are more proof the illegal immigration problem is greater than anyone will admit. A few will speak out, like Sen. Tancredo, but they are dismissed as "mean", and "racist". I think this article shows the public the illegal immigration problem is the 800 pound gorilla in every legislative house.
Time to act now. It is time to elect a president and congress who will do something about it. Illegal immigration, in my mind, is the #1 problem in this country.



Oh brother, you have got to be kidding me.

The fact that many Sacramento Latinos like to watch local news in Spanish translates into an illegal immigration problem!? :wtf:

Maybe we should just build an effing fence around Channel 19 while we're at it?

Is that you Lou Dobbs, a.k.a "yubamatt"? :hi:

1. I started watcing the Latin American stations news not because it was
in Spanish, but because they actually have news on those stations unlike our English speaking ones. It could be that those families who are bi-lingual are doing it for the same as me.

2. Have you ever watched the Spanish language news?
There's more content in fifteen minutes than 24 hours on CNN. And they don't take the time to spin the stories, they just report them. How refreshing.

3. I watch it occassionally because I'm bilingual, and it's
definitely news without all of the entertainment fluff.

Just don't admit you watch it, otherwise people will accuse you of being pro-illegal immigration. :eyes:

4. yubamatt should learn spanish.
Then he could watch Channel 19's non-english news to learn of the next evil scheme they are plotting.

Time to act is now yubamatt! You've been warned!

:rofl:

6. Oh for crying out loud!
How freaking presumptuous and racist can they get? Why do they assume that viewers of the station are automatically illegal immigrants? Don't legal immigrants and native born people who understand Spanish watch it?

Get a clue xenophobes!
