A possible PIIPP ("pro-illegal immigration puff piece") has been spotted in the Lincoln (NE) JournalStar. Here's the first paragraph of "Dozens rally to support proposed immigration law":

Oscar Rios Pohirieth dreads the conversation he's had again and again with some of Lincoln's Hispanic high school students.

Yes, it starts like other PIIPPs. However, apparently Oscar is not an illegal alien, and he's not the subject/victim of the story, he's just an external agent designed to introduce the story.

Nevertheless, I'm tentatively naming this a PIIPP-at-least-in-spirit.

The rest of the advocacy piece/article goes on to advocate for the explicitly anti-American DREAM Act:

[With the DREAM Act, Orrin Hatch] and his colleagues are literally taking opportunities and tuition assistance away from the children of citizens and giving them to illegal aliens... Supporters of this bill are unabashedly placing the interests of illegal aliens above American families who have paid taxes and played by the rules..."

While the advocacy piece/article does contain a quote from FAIR (also the source for the above quote), just two paragraphs out of 23 are devoted to any sort of dissenting voice. And, the advocacy piece/article doesn't mention that FAIR is currently helping the suit in Kansas that opposes that state's version of the DREAM Act. The remaining 21 paragraphs advocate for the DREAM Act.
