Bigotry never goes away. When it becomes unfashionable, it goes underground and waits until a new hate group appears into which it can project its twisted sickness.
Racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism and anti-immigrant nativism are chronic infections in the American body politic. Rush Limbaugh singing his obscene tune "Barack the Magic Negro" is inviting prejudice and violence.
However, for pure irrational rage, the current crop of nativists are some of the worst to come along since the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s or those God-fearing Protestants who burned convents in Boston in the 19th century.

What happened to the “Greeley Alert” warning???
Greeley is an idiot. Ask Greeley why to even bother having borders in his world. If illegal immigration is no different than legal immigration then borders are meaningless.
Since Greeley is a world citizen and not merely an American or Canadian (or whatever he is), let him go live in Africa, China or the Middle East so he can preach the good news there...
Greeley is a doofus, but I do sake some of his criticism to heart. Some of the stuff coming out of places like Laura Ingraham isn’t helpful. That kind of hateful rhetoric will only serve to obstruct our mission to enforce our borders and our laws. Being part Mexican, I obviously have enormous respect for Mexico. But there is a border between us.
Knowing he is morally right, he might do something stupid like burn covens.
Such hateful rhetoric will also drive Hispanic voters into the Democrat’s camp permanently.
It’s good to see another poster that is of Mexican ancestry here. I was starting to feel a little out of place
You want immigrants as neighbors and fellow citizens? You could move to Yuma.
Yuma Border Patrol has rough Monday

(snip)
The arrest came at the Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 8 at milepost 17 as agents were questioning a man who said he was lawfully admitted for permanent residence but did not have his immigration card.
A records check revealed a lengthy criminal history, including felony domestic violence, assault, criminal damage, possession of controlled substances and failure to appear, the patrol said. Additionally, he was prosecuted in federal court for entering the San Luis, Ariz., port of entry with a hidden illegal alien and a concealed handgun, according to the news release.
The suspect was transported to the Wellton station for processing and further investigation. During interviews, agents noticed various gang tattoos on his arms, body and legs. When questioned about the tattoos, the suspect said was he was a member of the “Sureños” gang, the release said.
He is being held pending prosecution on illegal entry into the United States, the release said.
The canal rescue came as agents were patrolling at 9 p.m. about two miles west of the Andrade, Calif., port of entry. An agent heard calls for help coming from the canal. Shining a spotlight in the canal, the agent saw a man in the water struggling to stay afloat. He immediately deployed a rescue device and pulled the man from the water, according to the news release.
After being rescued, the man asked for medical assistance and was transported to Yuma Regional Medical Center. Agents performed records checks via radio and discovered the man had a criminal history, including seven prior deportations, the release said.
After being treated, the man was transported to the Yuma station for processing, where a further records check revealed he had previously been arrested on rape, burglary, robbery, disorderly conduct, battery, parole violations and failure to register as a sex offender, according to the release.
He is being presented for prosecution on illegal entry into the U.S. and illegal re-entry after deportation. He faces a fine and up to 10 years in prison, the release said.
They have cathedrals in Mexico, don’t they?
Whoever said that illegal immigrants were “inhuman”?
Wait, you did.
People who cross our borders illegally are illegal wherever they came from. Hence illegal - not “Mexican”.
LEGAL immigrants are always welcome to America!
Remove the log from your own eye before attending to the splinter in your friend’s. Hypocrisy alert!
You've linked being Catholic with accepting tens of millions of citizenship-stealing foreign nationals that are leaving failed states in search of the chance to make this country a failed state.
You obviously don't live in the neighborhoods that have been taken over by the illegal immigrants from down south. If you did, you'd know what it was like to have the schools flooded with people that refuse to learn any English (a teacher friend says that she is surprised that "there's anyone left in El Salvador..they're all here"). You'd see the hostility when you enter "their" neighborhood, see nothing but signs and posters in spanish, see the young toughs hanging around with the gang clothing and attitudes and realize that instead of coming here to become Americans, we have very large blocs of people that have no intention of leaving their old countries behind.
I'm glad that they're attending Mass. But that doesn't mean that they had any business breaking into this country and making it just like the old one they left. What kind of future are you allowing, just so you can enjoy a Spanish Mass?
“So, there, I’ve supported the two biggest thorns in the nominal conservative’s side: Mexican ILLEGAL immigrants and Catholics.”
That’s what you’re really saying, and it isn’t nice at all.

A Catholic descendant of a LEGAL Spanish immigrant.
LOL, as if they’d vote GOP ever.
When you call other people names like bigot because they don’t agree with you and La Raza, they’re going to respond.
Even if you have “Mexican heritage!”
Mexico is a mess because of its culture, not because of the genetic makeup of its people.
And what does that have to with the article you posted?
Oh, another chance for you to throw the slur “bigot” out, nevermind.
Many here are attacking both legal and illegal immigrants because of their Hispanic culture. They treat Hispanics as if they’re not real Americans.
I was responding to the invisible hand’s post. Perhaps you missed it.
