They should be charged with a Federal crime as well as having a civil tort filed against them.

I honestly wonder in the eyes of the SPLC staff when will it NOT be 'nativist extremist bigoted racist hateful anti immigrant' to oppose infinite immigration of poor people. how many more poor people do we need? when millions of americans are getting fired, does the SPLC REALLY think need more? whats wrong with having high skill immigrants like doctors from india instead? why do we have to only have infinite poor mexicans? the ADL is definitely similar, but the SPLC really is THE worst as far as all-out distortions..... and i dont even know why, they would still make their point just as effectively (if not more effectively) if they were more fair in their wording/phrasing ‘anti-racist’ should be exchanged with ‘anti-free-speech’ protesters who refuse to listen to any opposing view.

I don't care who the person is it is just good form to let them speak and then organize a logical and lawful rebuttal. What went on at UNC did not help anyone and turned Tancredo into the victim. (Which he is not).

Congressman Tancredo's lecture was not "anti-immigration" - it was to be about ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. It never fails - that the SPLC hates the truth, they hate so much they have no problem distorting the truth to accomplish their mission of hate.

Why would Universities bother with the notion of allowing these events to take place, if they very well know it, that these events with known racist demagogues being invited, will surely create interference with the education system? Is it strictly for entertainment purposes? Or educational? I don't see anything remotely educational about it, if the speeches from known racists and groups associated with it, are there to simply fan the flames on racial issues using illegal immigration as a scapegoat for their hideous agenda. I say ban them from respected Universities and let them be, with their conference halls at the local hotel and elsewhere.
