Recently, near the close of a spirited community forum on black and Latino relations in South Los Angeles, a young black man in the audience stood up and proudly, even defiantly, shouted that he was a member of the Minuteman Project. This is the fringe group that has waged a noisy, gun-toting and headline-grabbing campaign to shut down the Mexican border to illegal immigrants.
GOP conservatives and immigration reformers denounce their borderline-racist rants.
Uh...no...only the OBL-morons and the current occupants of La Hacienda Blanco and their lickspittles "denounce" the Minutemen...the rest of America not only praises, but absolutely SUPPORTS them!
But thanks for trying, you left-wing pultroons!
"An entire category of jobs at the bottom rung of American industry seems to have been marked "Latino only,"
True, and before long it wont just be "bottom rung" that's "Latino only".
Another thing, many here on FR have said for a long time that if the GOP would embrace true immigration reform, the net increase in voters would far outweigh any loss from the OBL.
"Wilson also got nearly 20 percent of the black vote that election (double what Republicans in California typically get from blacks)."
Well, almost the rest. We'll have to exclude the city of Laguna Beach which is now being sued by the Minutemen for excluding them from participation in the Laguna Beach Patriot's Day parade to be held on March 4. Of course Laguna Beach is pretty much a collection of left wing anti-war appeasers, liberals, environmental wackos, and artsy types, none of whom would lift a finger to defend the United States.
