tactics reminiscent of Serbia under Milosevic or even the early days of the Third Reich.
This is what the author compared the Minutemen to...The Third Reich.
Since I know most Freepers are great writers,I have provided his e-mail... I will let you folks tell this nit-wit what you REALLY THINK!
Bad Journalism ping please!
Good grief -- what kind of publication is this?
The ILLEGAL invaders who sneak into this country are trying to take away American Citizens freedom, are you willing to allow them to do that?
Think this is xenophobia? Than they have won, they want anti illegals to look like racists, THEY are the racists!
Make no mistake they have declared war.
Since I know without a doubt that the Journal Standard wants to report the facts and not spin, I assume you will correct the error ridden article that appeared in
"OUR OPINION"
First of all the "Anti immigrant" label you gave my organization is incorrect. We are Anti ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, which is a violation of our laws in America.
These illegals have broken into our country and stolen jobs and services from the American tax payers.
I am the State Director of the Illinois Minuteman project and you forgot to mention that I am a woman of Mexican decent. So another error is the race card you are trying to play...strike that from the record also.
You said that the Minutemen bristle when someone suggests race as a motive, personally as a woman of mexican decent, I only bristle at bad journalism or when a paper tries to pass an op-ed piece as fact!
You said the minutemen picketed a Rockford bank, that is incorrect information, please retract that statement, it is not true, don't you have an standards at your paper or are you just trying to do it for the sensationalism?
I will give you credit though for what you spoke of correctly, don't underestimate the power of this Mexican American woman who understands the rule of law, the price of liberty and the ability to tell right from wrong.
As I organize Illinois and wake up the American sleeping giant, the only option illegal aliens will have is to go back to their own country and demand of Mexico, what they have no right to demand of our American government.
Our immigration policy has been set up for just that purpose - to provide an option to the Mexican/Central American underclass other than following Pied Piper Chavez into damnation. The author isn't wrong to identify that possibility, which most MSM commentators are completely (and perhaps willfully) overlooking, he's just wrong to suggest that people who oppose unlimited immigration are causing the problem. Mexico going Communist has been a concern for decades, and Chavez's emergence has heightened the risk.
If you can't make the distinction between immigration and illegal immigration, you are part of the problem, not part of the solution, and time is a-wasting...
believe it or not, it is just a daily paper in a small town of Freeport Illinois
He should have said the anti-illegal immigration. Big difference, but that wouldn't have fit his story line.
Is it too much to simply ask that our nation's laws be enforced?
Thats correct. These freaks need to go back home and overthrow their wealth government who treats them like sh@t!!
Ping
The idea is to expose them to a capitalist society so that a Chavez-style Communist utopia seems less appealing to them.
Judging by the sentiments expressed at the recent rallies, it isn't working too well.
Well, I wanted to give folks a chance instead of kicking the dog today, sound off at Gary Mays.
Wait! I thought Jesus on immigration was Romans 13!
OBEY THE LAW!!
