Texas Rep Asks Asians To Change Their Names

AUSTIN — A Republican North Texas legislator (Rep. Betty Brown, R-Terrell ) during House testimony on voter identification legislation said Asian-descent voters should adopt names that are “easier for Americans to deal with.”

“Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it’s a rather difficult language — do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here?” Brown said

um..Betty, you don't need to know how to speak Chinese to say someone's name.

Dangerous Hate - Part 2

The anti-immigration "activist" from the Dangerous Hate Post (below this post) who was caught illegally stockpiling weapons and making threats was finally released after several months in jail I'm still looking into finding out what he was finally convicted of what he was managed to wiggle his way out of.

However, the Watchman from ALIPAC.net was able to find this record of arrest from several years ago for the same individual..

"Arrested were Randy Dees a 52 year old Rodeo resident for 245 PC, assault with a deadly weapon and David Parsons a 30 year old Fairfield resident for 245 PC assault with a deadly weapon, 273 (a) PC, child endangerment and 288 (a)(1) PC lewd act on a child."

To think in anti-immigration circles, this guy is a hero. I've never been more disgusted.

Dangerous Hate

A while back I heard of an anti-immigration "activist" from the hate group Save Our State being arrested for domestic terrorism. I was shocked, not because I was surprised it came to this but because an arrest was actually made. It is not uncommon to see people encouraging others to take arms and start shooting "illegals". Beyond the homicidal intentions surrounding these statements, I'm still confounded as to how they know if someone is undocumented or not.

Well one of them was arrested on domestic terrorism charges late last year and is currently in jail. He still has not had his day in court yet so I'm going to hold off putting up his name until then. However ALIPAC.net put up a link to an anti-immigration blog that highlights how despite arrests being made, the anti-immigration community still does not see why threatening violence is a serious matter, especially on a population that cannot seek help from the authorities. This case however seems to involve specific threats to the ACLU. The blogger writes

"I don’t want to thwart Randy’s legal defense in any way so I’m not going to repeat what it is he is alleged to have written on the message board. But I will tell you that it wasn’t anything more serious than we have all read on the Internet many times before. Some of you may have written something similar. You could be sitting in jail right now too."

To those of you who don't frequent many anti-immigration sites, the people who visit those tend to believe the only to deal with immigrants is through violence and a "war". I used to dismiss these people as lunatics but in the last few years they are now the majority on a lot of these sites.

Anti-Immigration Group Caught Not Paying Taxes

Despite their name, ALIPAC.us is opposed to all types of immigration and often call it the third world invasion of the U.S. Most new immigrants and even undocumented immigrants pay taxes and it's a myth ALIPAC.us (not to be confused with ALIPAC.net) loves to spread.

I should be keeping a better eye on them because it turns out that ALIPAC.us did not have it's employees pay payroll taxes and ALIPAC.net (the good guys) reported them to the IRS like any good citizen and will donate the reward money to a charity aiding undocumented immigrants and their families that were affected by the Potsville raid

I somehow doubt William Gheen will admit to his supporters that their hard earned money will end up in the hands of undocumented immigrants.

You gotta love this country.

Everyone has to pay their fair share of taxes, it doesn't matter if they're a poor undocumented immigrant looking to feed their family back home who isn't aware of the tax laws or William Gheen intentionally trying to screw the system.

I think it's a testament to just how the majority of undocumented immigrants are dedicated to being productive members of society. The majority of immigrants (yes, even undocumented immigrants)opt to pay their share of taxes (often overpay because they are unaware they qualify for refunds) while people such as Gheen who is knowledgeable on tax rules don't make their employees pay their fair share in an effort to milk the system.

Crazies

The thing I find the hardest to believe about the anti-immigration crowd is how people can possibly take them seriously. Check out my scumbag and crazies tags for their "antics". The latest of which is an uproar over a vodka ad. That's right a vodka ad.

Click here for a Gawker article and click here for a Wonkette one.

Here's a quote from one of the antis.

"I've read a lot of blogs on other sites recently, and several people feel that this ad is an Act of War."

This quote is real and most of the antis agree with this idea that there is going to be a war between Mexico and the U.S. (could they be more our of touch with reality?). I say let's institutionalize these people for general public safety before they start shooting random brown skinned people in the streets. The feds already nabbed one of them who was stockpiling weapons.

Scumbag of the Week - "Buffalo" Rick Galeener

Virulent racist and noted Yosemite Sam impersonator "Buffalo" Rick Galeener got popped today for allegedly peeing into a plastic bottle nearby the Macehualli Work Center, where he and fellow members of local hate group United for a Sovereign America have been protesting just about every day since the beginning of the year. Always a class act, Galeener allegedly enjoyed the pause that refreshes beside his truck, which was parked in front of Paulita Cortes' house.

According to Sgt. Brian Murray of the PHX PD's Community Relations Bureau, Galeener was cited and released for indecent exposure, a class 1 misdemeanor, which carries a potential fine of $2,500 and possible punishment of six months in jail. According to Murray, buffalo chip copped to taking a whiz, but the unkempt xenophobe insisted he was in his car doing it, not out in the open. Murray pointed out that whether or not Galeener was urinating inside or outside of his vehicle was irrelevant to the actual charge.

Extremism Goes Mainstream

Watch this documentary regarding the white pride pop group "Prussian Blue".
Now replace every time they say "Mexican" with the word "Illegal "and compare to what one typically finds on anti-immigration websites. Most of us already know that the code word for Hispanic for many nativists is "illegal" and the code word for white is "American". Nativists can use any euphemisms they like, they're still racists/bigots just like the people in the documentary.

Scumbag of the Week - Rusty Childress

Rusty Childress, 42 - a wealthy auto dealer

Phoenix, Ariz.

As President of United for Sovereign America, Childress presides over weekly anti-immigration summits at his Kia car dealership. Past speakers have included Glenn Spencer, founder of the hate group American Border Patrol; John Watson of White Knights of America; neo-Nazi J.T. Ready, who equates Mexican immigrants to "fleas fleeing a dead dog which they sucked dry"; and state legislator Russell Pearce, who infamously forwarded an E-mail from the neo-Nazi group National Alliance to his supporters in 2006.

That was the year that Childress founded the anti-immigrant biker gang American Freedom Riders, which harasses day laborers in the Phoenix area. But he was ousted from his own group later that year after members raised questions about the immigration status of Latinos spotted washing cars and performing janitorial duties on Childress' dealership lot. That didn't sit well with the nativist bikers, and they gave him the boot.

Childress went on to form a knockoff biker gang, Riders USA, with a nearly identical logo, though he continued to represent himself to the media as the spokesperson for AFR, much to the irritation of his former allies. "The magic of the American Freedom Riders is that as bikers we have no pretense about being politically correct," Childress wrote in a letter to the editor published last December. "We are profoundly anti-illegal immigration, down to our biker bones, and not one rationalization will detract us from our zero-tolerance."

I laughed so hard it hurt. Am I the only one who finds this ridiculous? Who in their right mind takes these people seriously?

Scumbag of the Week - David Vitter

Senator David Vitter of Louisiana is a strong opponent of "amnesty". I don't think Vitter understands the definition of the word.

Amnesty : a period during which offenders are exempt from punishment

Vitter claimed the DREAM Act was amnesty and that it would reward criminal behavior.
The DREAM Act would have allowed innocent children who through no choice of their own became undocumented immigrants to become documented. Many of these children do not even know they are undocumented. They committed no crime yet face the punishment such as Jail while being held in detention or worse yet deportation to a country they haven't seen since they were toddlers with decade to lifetime bans on re-entering the U.S., the only country they have ever known.

I think it's safe to assume a toddler who is carried across the border or a 5 year old who overstays his visa is innocent. They most likely had no idea what was happening and even if they did, they have no say over the action. Yet David Vitter keeps referring to these kids as criminals. Unauthorized presence in the U.S. is not a crime, and crossing the border as a child is not a crime. Under no definition of the criminal justice system are these children guilty, yet they face the punishment and jail time in detention facilitates which are known to sexually and physically abuse minors.

David Vitter on the other hand is guilty of knowingly committing an actual crime. Sexually exploiting a woman, using the "services" of a prostitute is a crime (not to mention morally despicable). Yet Vitter was amnestied for his crime. Prostitution has a statute of limitations. If we can give amnesty to a criminal such as Vitter, I think he should find it in his heart to give it to innocent children who aren't guiltily of any crimes.

Vitter's Senate number: (202) 224-4623

Tell Vitter you are opposed to amnesty, especially for men who violate prostitution laws and that your tax dollars shouldn't be going to these criminals.

Judge Receives Threats For Immigration Related Ruling

If you troll the anti-immigration sites, you know a lot of these people are missing a few screws. Case in point, one of them is currently sitting in jail for threats he made to the ACLU. So I'm not particularly surprised this happened.

A Westbury Village justice wants courtroom security beefed up because of the hate mail and "crazy" e-mails he has received since he dismissed a driving without a license charge against an undocumented immigrant.

One note - posted at freerepublic.com - suggests, "Let's hire an AIDS-infected hooker ... male for [the judge's] daughter ... female for his son ... and let he/she/them be infected with AIDS, so he can rule in hopes of opening up another dialogue on the suffering in Africa."

"I have gotten some bizarre communication," said Justice Thomas Liotti, who in a written decision last week asked for a metal detector and court officers either outside or inside the courtroom. "This is crazy - absolute nonsense.
"We need security in our village courts. Otherwise, we could fall victim to some of these nuts who want to take matters into their owns hands," Liotti added.

Here's my favorite hate quote of the week taken from a Texas Minuteman

This is the beginning of a similar problem Germans endured for 400 years with Jews .. race riots date back hundreds of years before WWII. Immigrant invaders were taking over their economy ( Jews ) . The country got fed up by the government never being able to solve the problem until Uncle Adolf came into power. There was a " final solution " as you know. The Germans offered many countries to take the Jews prior to the War. The US, Canada, Great Britain .. all refused .

So .. they had millions of " rats " in their country .. much the same as we have today with greasers .

At the Nuremberg trials on war crime at the end of the war .. Herman Goehring, commander of the Luftwaffe said to a journalist ... " why do you want to punish the rat-trapper for trapping the rats ? " ..

We'll understand in years how the Nazi did that, and why .. right here in the US .. it hasn't gotten that far out of control yet .

Not saying it is right to exterminate 7 million Jews .. I don't condone that. It's just an example of what happens to a country that is fed up with immigrants that won't leave ..

I love my state of Texas .. but it is drowning in corruption, greed and greasers .. There's only 1 solution ..

Meet the new Ku Klux Klan — now against Mexicans!

The KKK is back and better than ever! Learn how an old worn-out racist movement can “re-brand” itself for a New Era in which the main threat to white Americans is a Mexican guy picking strawberries.
And face it, there’s only so much orange-headed faux-populist Lou Dobbs can do by himself.
It’s not the first time the KKK has expanded its mission from hating on blacks to hating on immigrants. The Klan hit its membership peak in the 1920s, when the dual invasions of the Irish and the Germans threatened to make America full of Irish and Germans. But the Klan lost that war, too.

Understanding FAIR

I've been reading several posts by some anti-immigration "activists" regarding FAIR and am shocked at how little they know about an organization in which they are a memeber.

First, FAIR is opposed to ALL types of immigration Legal and Illegal alike.

They are even opposed to Indian & Filipino doctors coming here to practice in under served areas. They are opposed to Chinese researchers who are looking for a cure for cancer immigrating here and millionaire South American businessmen coming here to start new a business.

Why are they opposed to immigrants such as these?
We all know the answer to that.
That is only one of the reasons why they are a hate group.

Care for more reasons?

• Accepted funding from the Pioneer Fund
• Staff members at FAIR have ties to white supremacist groups.
  
• FAIR has successfully spread ridiculous conspiracy theories, including the bogus claim that Mexico has set its sights on “reconquering” the Southwest and the notion of a secret plot to merge the United States, Canada and Mexico.
• A top FAIR official met with the leaders of a Belgian racist and xenophobic group to seek the Europeans’ “advice” on immigration.

Communists and Hispanics = America's Biggest Threats

If you surf nativists sites you've already seen this trend.

Illegal is now code word for Hispanic. No one knows who is and isn't undocumented by just looking at them. They think they can express their racism openly by simply substituting illegal for Hispanic. You hear things like this all the time on these sites, "They've infested my town already,I saw some illegals at my grocery store today."

1) How do you know they are undocumented? Hispanic doesn't mean the same thing as undocumented.

2) Infested?? They aren't cockroaches you bigot.

3) God forbid, your town gets a few non-whites. We can't have that now, can we?

Lately, they have been dropping the "illegal" altogether and just saying what hey mean. Hispanic.




The Second trend being anyone who disagrees with their nativist views is immediately called a communist.

Communist? Is that the best they can do? How old are these people???
