RIVERSIDE, New Jersey (Reuters) - Opponents of a local law cracking down on illegal immigrants clashed on Sunday with residents chanting "go home" as both sides proclaimed their loyalty to the United States.
An estimated 300 to 400 people gathered outside the town hall to protest a recently passed ordinance that bans hiring or renting to illegal immigrants, who are accused of overburdening local services such as schools and hospitals without paying taxes.
The protesters, representing the largely Brazilian immigrant community of Riverside, were heckled by about 500 counter-demonstrators kept at bay by police on the other side of the town's main intersection.
As immigration supporters accused the town's council of racism, opponents chanted "USA, USA" and waved placards saying "Scram" and "Stop Illegal Immigration." A passing pickup truck drew loud cheers by flying a Confederate flag with the motto "The South Will Rise Again."

Cape May and Cumberland County .You would not believe the amount of Rednecks down here .(in the Pine Barrens, not the resort areas )
I agree, this whole thing sounds made up. New Jersey, immigration laws, Brazilian crowd, Pickup truck, Confederate Flag, The South Will Rise Again. C'mon, the best thing to ever come out of NJ is I-295 South!!!
Dang those guys are good!
A lot of Confederates escaped to Brazil after the War Between the States. An earlier post in this thread said there was a heavy Brazilian population in this particular NJ area. Just throwing that out there. There is a lot of documentation online about the Brazilian Confederate descendants. If you're too lazy/busy/uninterested/otherwise to do your own research, I'll try to find it for you.
hey Yehuda , post #4 , .. .. good one [pronounced Juan] DocRaoul
... btw , wanna get a feel for how cheap Mexicans and other Central Americans [illegals] will do work?
.. .. here in NYC's Chinatown , once an Asian only "shop" now has the Chinese greengrocers with Mexican grunts

Brazil is south of the south ;)
Vote Republican!!
Or Democrat. Just vote. Every vote counts. For something, not sure what. Maybe every vote IS counted, not every vote counts.

ICE has been purging the Chinese illegals.

'Sister Ping' Convicted in Smuggling Scheme
So they probably lost their Chinese slaves.
Where have you guys been? South Jersey is not part of the North. It is: 1) mostly below the mason-dixon line; 2) had slaves until the civil war; and 3) full of rednecks, of the deliverance type
Moreover, the NJ Supreme Court in a mid-19th Century decision, provided a legal basis later adopted by the SCOTUS in Dredd-Scott, did not vote for Lincoln in 1864, and, if it had had the chance, most likely would have seceded in 1861.
>>>2) had slaves until the civil war;
Still does
Enrique Morones (sp?) in southern California has done that very thing to the Minutemen before.
Yup.
The left infiltrates organizations/groups all the time and pulls extremes to create a bad name or stereotype for discrediting.
That was Stalin's idea from his industrialization project writings.
For you? But sure! It's late here on Eastern time. You can probably go to a search engine and type in Brazil and Confederate. Freepmail me if you do a search. The story is actually quite fascinating. I can't imagine why the Brazilian Confederalis would migrate back to NJ.
Rev. Miguel Rivera, president of the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, called the Riverside law "racist." He criticized Mayor Charles Hilton by saying his initiative in passing the law was equivalent to the Confederate flag being flown by the counter-demonstrators.
How convenient for the Revrnnnnnd that there was a Confederate flag at the demonstration for him to point to, isn't it?
Across the street, several people held placards with pictures of Rivera, accusing him of racism and saying "Take Your Trash Elsewhere."
I guess the legal residents of Riverside know the Revrnnnnnd's M.O.
Larry Mourey, 52, who said he had lived all his life in Riverside, denied there was any racism in his support for the town's ordinance. He said he had no problem with immigrants as long as they were legal but objected to paying taxes to support illegal ones.
Lindsey Sickler, 19, said she supported the ordinance because the illegal immigrants were using local services without paying taxes, and their children are driving down school test scores because they can't speak English.
"If we were in their country and doing the same thing, they would be trying to get us out," she said.
It's good to see regular folks standing up for their rights.
