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.
you chose to make what was a civil debate a personal attack on me.
No hard feeling, and don't feel like the lone ranger greenham, I treat all people that have criminal acquaintances about the same.
See yea!
Yes, I believe one of their leaders praised the Arabs who "had the courage to plunge into building full of Jews" or something like that.
come back and take issue with mine and we can chat then.
Come closer and listen. I told you I don't debate with people that associate with criminals.
See yea, greenham....
Hello, we can't continue to receive such high numbers of immigrants in such a short time. We can't take in the whole world. Don't you see the flaw in your comment?
Secondly, I doubt that you would want America becoming some resemblence of the United Nations, because that is what is going to happen if widescale, unchecked immigration is going to lead us. Down the path of multiculturalism, bickering, group politics, more socialism, loss of freedoms, more taxes, etc.
Like I said, I would like immigration reduced to 75,000 per year. This, of course, after a ten, possibly twenty, year immigration moratorium. Furthermore, I think that for the best interests of the country that we should admit at least an 80% majority of immigrants from the western world. (Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan)

Yep - I know Gainesville a bit also, and you're right on. I sure hope Rudolph's restaurant is still up and running there; what a great place.....the type found only in the South.
I'll not make any bones about it, I have reason to be skeptical of an immigration policy that relegates the country's founding ethnic stock to minority status, while at the same time spouting multiculturalism and a chamber pot analogy.
We can't do so with a welfare state. Socialism is incompatible with immigration.

Multi-culturalism is a disease of the decadent upper middle class. Most poor immigrants know a good thing when they see it and want to assimilate.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

God no. Those people are the worst Socialists the world has to offer. The pathetic dregs of a collapsed culture.
I'd much rather have the Chinese, Vietnamese, Mongolians, etc. Those people are some most dynamic, resourceful folks on earth.
