— GAINESVILLE, Ga. (Reuters) - A group of white supremacists said Wednesday its members and sympathizers would march through this Georgia town this weekend to protest an influx of Hispanic immigrants in the area.
The National Alliance, a West Virginia-based group that advocates the establishment of all-white "living areas" in the United States and other Western nations, said the march on Saturday would focus attention on the links between illegal immigration and gang-related crime in the Gainesville area.
About 30 percent of Gainesville's population of 27,242 is Hispanic, according to the 2000 Census. Racial tensions in the town, located about 50 miles northeast of Atlanta, have risen in the past year after a number of drug-related crimes blamed on Mexican gangs.
"Gainesville has been swamped with uncontrolled immigration and we told them last year that they were going to have problems with gangs," said Chester Doles, a coordinator for the National Alliance in Lumpkin County, north of Gainesville.
Doles added that the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States had fueled greater interest in the group's anti-immigration message and activities. "The local citizens are responding more than last year," Doles said.
The march is due to begin at 8 a.m. EDT on Saturday and is expected to last about an hour. Local law enforcement authorities and community leaders are telling residents to stay at home during the rally.
I seriously doubt that will ever happen in Georgia or any other state.
This could be a great Freep opportunity...bring posters and protest, as a member of the REAL right-wing.
For budding journalists confused about the real meaning of "left-wing:"
Joseph Goebbels own words: "Those Damn Nazis", long German propaganda piece defining intent and meaning of the Nazi's....National, Socialists....left-wing, "third way.".

Perhaps we should replace the inscription at the base of the Statute of Liberty with :
America the closed preserve.
That dirty foreigners don't deserve.
Its time to ship the Statute back to the French.
I no longer eat chicken or poultry products at all, as it's nearly impossible to avoid Tysons or Honeysuckle white products, since the meat packing industry has so 'consolidated' itself into only a handful of huge operators.
You're so funny. Feel Progressive, huh?
Furthermore, you seem to forget that illegals aren't immigrants.
I wonder if many of you think about what you're actually saying. I have a feeling that many of you are taken back by the talk of a racist organization, so you, unfortunately, allow it to cloud the reality of illegal immigration.
Personally speaking, when I read the article, it sickened me, for it is counter-productive, and it gives the opposition firepower to brand as racist those of us who want our borders sealed, though there is no basis to support this.
Goodness.
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
I'm out of town on vacation until next Wed (7/17) - no more pings until then!
