Stop confusing anti-immigration and anti-<i>illegal</i> immigration

To the editor: While reading your editorial about the Los Angeles City Council’s failed boycott of the state of Arizona, I came across a glaring editing mistake. (“Outrage over Arizona’s immigration law was justified, but L.A.’s boycott proved to be a farce,” editorial, June 27)
You wrote that Arizona adopted “anti-immigration legislation in 2010.” Of course, you surely meant to say “anti-illegal immigration.”
As a writer and former newspaper editor myself, I’m sensitive to the precision and nuance of language. Just thought I’d bring that to your attention. No charge.
