I think all this is going to end in violence.
I fear you're right. I also fear that one of the big losers will be legal Hispanic immigrants and other Americans of Hispanic descent.

National reaction
Susan Tully, national field director for the Washington, D.C.-based Federation for American Immigration Reform, which advocates reducing illegal immigration, said her office has been "overwhelmed" with phone calls from frustrated people looking for a way to get involved in a counterprotest.
Tully said she has been alarmed by some of the calls and urged restraint and caution.
"I can tell you the frustration you can hear in their voices and the outrage. It's pretty scary," she said.
"I really think the best way for the American public to oppose this guest-worker plan at this point is to continue to make phone calls, faxes, write and go visit U.S. senators and representatives rather than taking to the streets."
She also worried about how pro-immigrant demonstrators are interacting with members of FAIR and other anti-illegal immigration organizations.
"I promise you if we announced tomorrow that we were going to have a march in Los Angeles or Phoenix, the other side would be out there to confront them, and it could get really ugly," Tully said.
The calls have also flooded offices at the Capitol, where the Senate is trying to craft compromise legislation and debating the fate of the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States.
Will Adams, spokesman for a staunch illegal-immigration opponent, Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., said phone lines at the congressional office are "overflowing" with calls about the rallies and protests, sending interns and staffers scrambling. He echoed the sentiments of others in the anti-illegal immigration camp, calling the rallies a "tactical error."
