: Greg Siskind's BlogDOES FREE SPEECH COVER SITE THAT ACCUSES COMPANIES OF HIRING ILLEGAL WORKERS?
By Greg Siskind
The Dallas Morning News discusses the site www.wehirealiens.com which allows people to anonymously post the names of companies it suspects of hiring unlawfully present immigrants. The site's owner claims no responsibility for the accuracy of the posts and damaged companies are up in arms. I understand the 1st Amendment arguments, but I also know that a lot of people equate being Hispanic with being an illegal immigrant and just assume that any worker with an accent is undocumented. Even the title of the web site seems to show the site's owners don't really distinguish between legally present and illegally present workers - they're all suspect. What do you think?
By the way, my friend Dan Kowalski has a good quote in the story.
