Personally, I think the pro-immigration rhetoric is far more disturbing.

[no-to-illegals]

Whether it's in conversation, on Web sites or flowing from cable TV and radio talk shows, the shrillness of the anti-illegal-immigration debate has become disturbing, say groups that monitor hate speech.

The true cry is, Get Used To It American, America does not belong to the Citizens of America. America has tried a policy of being a 'safety valve' for the world. A failed policy from this policy's initial conception. But a failed, doomed policy is what America has. Learn Spanish and become ready to bow to that mid-east heck-hole and asteroid. It is coming quicker than anyone thinks.....mho

...unfounded accusations that illegal immigrants are the driving force behind problems such as identity theft and rising health insurance costs.

Unfounded my assets. I read daily all kinds of info that verifies it isn't unfounded.

The are being taught Span-ish so they will fit into the new United States of Mexico.

We want people to respect our values, revere our flag, speak our language and obey our laws. If they can't do that, then they should leave.

I’ll second that...
but criticize the opponents of lawbreakers at your own risk, uhhh writer’s strike and all. What else would cable news cover? I mean ‘if it bleeds it leads’ wasn’t just invented yesterday! God forbid news teams be forced to start covering law abiding citizens...who would watch?/s

[elpadre]

Could the telephone call been a setup? sounds like it!

Often, so I understand, these advocacy groups use such devises to exaggerate their position.

It been suggested that often these “death threats” are imaginary.

I don’t know.

Nahhh...those 2 are just smokescreens for the Chinese invasion just around the corner! Mobetta you should learn Mandarin....mho

With the state of the world, always read to pounce on America and blame America first, I would not be surprised by anything....but that is just me.

Maybe “hate crime’ (aka mind control) charges need to be filed from now on?

This author, Susan Ferriss, cracks me up! Naturally she begins her narrative in the usual liberal Democrat way, by throwing up unassailable victims as human shields, in this case, "Lisa Dupre's Sacramento preschool, where toddlers can learn yoga, etiquette and Spanish as a second language". Can Ferriss get any more transparent?

"I thought this was America, not Mexico. This is English only," a voice growled....
remembers thinking, "This guy is not the sharpest tool in the shed."

issued a report in October called, Immigrants Targeted: Extremist Rhetoric Moves Into the Mainstream.
Their point is that rational debate over immigration has been drowned out by the noise of unfounded accusations

Ha! This scumbag Ferriss is a perfect fit at "the sac".

[hophead]

So speaking ill of illegal aliens and the documented problems they cause is now ‘hate speech’? I think it is HATEFUL to call those who oppose illegal immigration anything but mainstream.
The PRO illegal groups are doing their best to label us all as racists and xenophobes. This way they can avoid direct dialog on the subject. Typical leftard tactic.

China, Islam and 900 million from Latin America all at once.

Terrible time for our mis-leaders to show such stupidity and weakness.

[ga medic]

I think the point was that this woman was advertising a preschool, not advocating open borders. Teaching another language in school is far different from supporting illegal immigration. Even when I was a little kid, there were other languages taught at school.

[Turret Gunner A20]

Well, I think all law enforcement officers should have to learn Spanish, Arabic, and a few other languages — so they can forcefully, in languages they can understand, tell those illegals (CRIMINALS) to get the hell out of our country and go back and clean up the sewers they came from.

[no-to-illegals]

I agree, there is NO invasion occurring, and the Supreme Court is NOT going to hear arguments on the Second Amendment in May of next year.

Nothing is taking place which warrants concern. There is NO wolf at the door. The good ship, of America, didn't strike an iceberg. NO planes were flown into Twin Towers in New York. No plane struck the Pentagon. There's NOT a War going on. Every country in the world, loves America, No siege is taking place. Nobody has died. Americans being vigilant is foolishness. Do Not question anyone's motives. All is Well! America should take another sleeping pill and go back to sleep.

I refuse to post a sarcasm tag with this post. Just like Web Hubble said, "I've been asked to roll over, one more time."

...being taught Span-ish so they will fit into the new United States of Mexico.

Back in 6th grade (in 1976, West. L.A.) we were goofing off in (a required) Spanish class and the teacher said "you all better pay attention; one day Spanish will be as dominant as English in our country" (or something to that effect). We all just rolled our eyes. ...naively.

Picking an isolated jerk to represent the millions of people you disagree with is disturbging.

I believe Ms Ferris, and the credibility of her writings, would benefit by putting the definition of “projection” on a sticky note and affixing it to her computer screen when she sits down to “practice her craft.”
