There's nothing hateful about supporting US immigration laws. There IS something hateful about the vicious LIES being spewed by Reich Wingnuts in the militia and nativist movements. The problem with the militias is they cannot seperate the legitimate immigration politics from the racist hate speech. Until they clean up their own mess, they will continued to be painted with the racist brush. And if its a too broad brush, they brought this down on themselves by not getting rid of their racists.

The Minuteman spokesperson's last name is hispanic, as well as the last name of the border agent they are mourning. I am hispanic. And I believe we need to let more people into this country, but in an orderly way, especially Haitians, in whose country we helped a coup happen. What is so hateful about secure borders?
