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

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.
"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".
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.
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.”
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, is cited by the ADL for calling illegal immigration a "slow-motion terrorist attack."
When you cannot prove what they are saying is not true, then all you have is your attack dogs. You would need to go a long way to find an organization that was a corrupt as the souther, scam little old ladies, law center.
Rhetoric is not text. Also, it is rarely aesthetic in either sense.
“There is no doubt that immigration is a necessary debate,” said Deborah Lauter, the Anti-Defamation League’s civil rights director. “But it must remain civil.”
Maybe it would remain civil, if the GD, MF'n illegal-butt kissing Open Borders crowd in the government, who are charged with enforcing our laws, weren't doing everything in their (from the very top, down) power to thwart the laws and the will of the citizenry.
On immigration, the liberals are now saying that, yes, we should debate the issue, but only if we exclude arguments that are "racist" or "xenophobic". So you're free to argue against illegal aliens and mass immigration, as long as you don't mention that they're changing our culture, replacing our language, driving wages down, committing huge numbers of crimes, killing people with drunk driving, soaking up welfare and entitlements, engaging in identity theft, using fake IDs, taking over our neighborhoods, engaging in gang violence, wrecking our school system, and so forth.
Of course, once you take those arguments out of the equation, there are no sound reasons left to oppose illegal immigration or mass legal immigration. By liberal definition, any effective or good argument against their position is "racist" or "xenophobic".
At the time of the assassination of JFK the NY Times had two above-the-fold items. One reporting on Oswald and his known Communist connections and the other a column by James Reston opining that America was steeped in hatred and violence. The assassination was a consequence of our sorry history.
Guess which prevailed in the mainstream media. Yes, the attempts to place the blame on America especially the emerging modern conservative movement.
Let the Deconstructing of America begin!
I remember it well. It continues 24/7.
The best and brightest Bee brains are no strangers to the Reston rhetoric having spun and spiked news for decades; they even partnered with CAIR, gay activists, and "undocumented" workers to help run a popular local conservative talk show host off the air.
The same Bee brains who blamed us for 9/11 (we shared the blame, we don't try to "understand" the rest of the world).
The same Bee brains who ran article after article about "Asian bashing" during the Wen Ho Lee mishandling of highly classified documents episode. Did Lee ever live up to his agreement with DoJ?
Who cares what Bee brains feeeeeeeeeeeeeel.
The name calling by radical socialists against the majority of Americans who simply want laws enforced is only effective as long as we care what they call us.
Mr. Dees wanted to do good and he's done very well indeed.
“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.”
This debate has been shrill and defamatory for years; shrill and defamatory almost exclusively from the open borders/pro illegal crowd. Any mention of enforcing our laws brought quick slurs of racist, xenophobe, you can’t built a wall around America and other nonsense.
But now that those who believe laws should be enforced have begun to raise their voices, the “Sacramento Bee” and other MSM hypocrites and liars are suddenly alarmed at the shrillness of the debate. Ignore these pathetic hypocrites.
