  3. Dear CNN Headline News

    Dear CNN Headline News,

    Why is it that this morning when discussing the cost of sending “illegal immigrants home” you showed pictures of groups of latino men standing on a street corner?
    You gave an image of vagabonds. Why was this the image you selected?

    Thank you,
