Memo to the media:
Stop letting politicians get away with calling asylum seekers "illegal immigrants" or saying they're not coming to this country "the right way." Seeking asylum is legal. Presenting themselves at the border & requesting asylum is "the right way" to seek asylum.

Most of the people reporting on Republican politicians these days (and Republicans are the ones saying "illegal immigrants" and "not the right way") have become stenographers. They just reliably record what's said, and type it out. No analysis, no fact checking, no context, just listen and repeat.
