Who knew that Latinos would be the next to feel the radical right's un-American wrath? First they came for the gays (who they called perverts), then Muslim-Americans (who they compared to rats), now Latinos. The "radical Hispanic group," as the radical rights' newsource AgapePress calls them, is actually one of the top Latino civil rights organizations in the nation. AgapePress also quotes someone calling the group "racist" against white people. Any Latinos out there? Time to call your friends, because now President Bush's friends are coming for you:
An immigration reform activist is blasting Senator John McCain for recent remarks he made to a radical Hispanic group, calling for fast-track amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. McCain made his speech at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza. Rick Oltman of the Federation for American Immigration Reform says that group's objectives are quite clear. "This is a race-based group that makes racist comments about white Americans. They have their own agenda, and it isn't about law and order or about the citizenship of all races. It's to thwart enforcement and to push their racial agenda." Also, Oltman feels strongly that amnesty is not the appropriate response to illegal aliens dying in the desert. The immigration reform advocate says "there's ways to see that it doesn't happen besides throwing down the borders and inviting the entire Third World to move into your neighborhood." He says one such way is to put such a deterrent patrol force on the border that illegal immigration will not be considered worth the risk. Oltman acknowledges that illegal immigration results in higher profits for some business owners, but he says another result is that the American taxpayers get stuck with higher costs in the areas of health-care, education, and law enforcement.
