Thanks GOP! Hate groups using immigration anxiety as recruiting tool.

[ck4829]

"American white supremacist groups have a long and ugly history of using anxieties over immigration as a recruitment tool. It's happening again--with a vengeance. As nativist sentiments have hardened and spread, white-supremacist and neo-Nazi groups have stepped up their recruitment efforts--and it's working. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has documented a sharp rise in the number of such groups nationally, and Mark Potok, editor of the SPLC's Intelligence Report, says the growth is directly related to these groups' new emphasis on immigration.

The synergy between mainstream anti-immigration groups and hardcore white supremacists is founded on a common belief in a form of racial nationalism (unconscious, in the case of some mainstreamers) that assumes European settlers comprise a "native-born" population that constitutes the "real" America."

1. some assholes are just a waste of protein and oxygen.

This is what happens when "The Commentaries of Julius Caesar" and other such historically significant texts dissappear from the lexicon of public schooling.

2. It's a symbiotic relationship

One feeds the other, back and forth.

And, sadly enough, it's based on a real problem, but a problem on which the waters are so muddied it's hard to figure exactly what we should do.

3. It's much easier once you focus on the real issue: OVERpopulation.

In France a few years back, naive liberals (sic) tried to smear those that opposed unfettered immigration that they knew would result in lower wages for all and higher prices that would hit the middle and lower classes the hardest...as being racists. That's the same phenomenon we're seeing here.

You don't want the problems that are caused and exasperated by OVERpopulation to get any worse here than they already are, do you?

5. Yeah buddy, the GOP is smart to play this one the way they do.

All those "whoo boys" know basic economics: more labor, chasing fewer jobs = lower wages.

They know all about the okey dokey, too.
