on illegal immigrants has critics calling it a racist incitement to violence.

Sound familiar?

[A CA Guy]

Hey, it's not like Mexico is throwing billions in crude oil to us for free in exchange for the massive expense of their people.
I want them out also. Let them make legal applications.

I'd rather have skilled people immigrating here, not a nation of grape pickers from the south.

I'd like to read what he said. He may have crossed the line and he may not have. I doubt he did, because you can be certain if he truly called for violence, he'd have been castrated by now. The truth is that he probably addressed the impropriety of illegal immigration, and obtained the same reaction those of us who agree with him, do here.

A college newspaper opinion piece calling for a crackdown on illegal immigrants has critics calling it a racist incitement to violence.

Surreal. To call for enforcement of the law is now equated with racisim. The vast majority of this country, including many hispanics, are opposed to this invasion. Press on good men, keep up the good work.

Students For Community Action, a campus socialist group, and MEChA, a campus Chicano group, have called for a retraction and apology from the Sun for publishing the commentary.

Socialist chicano group wants an apology.

I'd like a copy of the whole piece.

I L-O-V-E the "leaches" - as in the ILLEGALS drawing off of our wealth... REGARDLESS, REGARDLESS of race, color, creed, etcetera.

And the "can't come out and say this" crowd just proves my point: They're ILLEGAL ALIENS who need to be punished.

"A college newspaper opinion piece calling for a crackdown on illegal immigrants has critics calling it a racist incitement to violence."

Hmmmm... Sounds like something some of the more vocal FROBL's would say.

[Servant of the 9]

"We feel he crossed the line," said MEChA co-chairwoman Gaby Arenivas. "He's attacking a group of people that can't come and tell him, 'No, don't do this.' "

Let them go home and protest.

FYI - BIG WHOPPING TIME!!!

...burn the leaches (sic)...

Leaches = leeches

You have to love college students who can write but can't spell.

The Scourge of MEChA

From "El Plan de Aztlan
": In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal "gringo" invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlan from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny.

[Noachian]

"He's attacking a group of people that can't come and tell him, 'No, don't do this.' "

Why can't he do that?

Do Mexicans know anything about free speech?

[Texas_Jarhead]

That article is so infuriating. The totalitarian and racist left must be purged from the body politic. Socialists and racial supremacists are calling the article racist and an incitement to violence. If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black then I don't know what is. And then you've got the idiotic student body president considering taking half of the newspaper budget from the liberal school paper to use it for publication of a far left newspaper. The totalitarian nature of the far left is clearly demonstrated by the ousting of Mecha's faculty adviser when she sided with free speech.

An editorial suggesting that the law be enforced is "racist incitement to violence"?

"He's attacking a group of people that can't come and tell him, 'No, don't do this.' "

Why can't they? Oh, yeah. Because they're breaking the law!

[philetus]

Any story about illegals is going to stir up the universities.

Just thought you would like to know that you share postions with SCA and MEChA.

[lawdude]

Let's see. Illegal aliens are ... well...illegal. Burglars are...hmmm...illegal!

Since these twits seem to think illegal aliens can do what they want, I suggest we allow burglars to do what they want.

OK folks?

Okay, thanks to Mad Mikey - I have been able to find a copy of THE editorial. I downloaded his, shrunk it to a 800X600 size and then put it at http://tinypic.com/1sf7r7 for a copy. Or just look at below:

MECHhA owes all of us an apology for thinking they can use irredentism to demythologize Aztlan.

[pabianice]

"MECh-A!"

The sound my cat makes coughing-up a hairball.
