"Aw jeez! Not this crap again!"

U.S. civil rights leaders said yesterday that an increase in hate crimes committed in recent years against Hispanics and people perceived to be immigrants "correlates closely" to the nation's increasingly contentious debate over immigration. Hate crimes targeting Hispanic Americans rose 40 percent from 2003 to 2007, the most recent year for which FBI statistics are available, from 426 to 595 incidents, marking the fourth consecutive year of increases.
The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund issued a report that faulted anti-immigrant rhetoric in the media and mobilization of extremist groups on the Internet. The conference said that some groups advocating for tighter immigration laws have invoked "the dehumanizing, racist stereotypes and bigotry of hate groups..."
The FBI reported in October that the number of hate crimes dropped in 2007 by about 1 percent, to 7,624. But violence against Latinos and gay people bucked the trend. The number of hate crimes directed at gay men and lesbians increased about 6 percent, the FBI reported.
Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which was criticized in the LCCREF report, said it was "another salvo against free speech by the pro-amnesty coalition . . . to delegitimize any critic of mass immigration."

The get whitey hate campaign chugs along.
Love to see the scoreboard for the numbers of “hate crimes” vs violent attacks by illegals.
Assume for a moment that there is in fact a relationhsip between the expression of opinions with regard to illegal immigration and the additional 170 “hate crimes.” Assume also that the “hate crimes” are really serious hate crimes. What do you do with that information? Supress the expression of opinions in support of one side of the debate over illegal immigration? Let’s see, 170 crimes per year in a nation of 300,000,000 people or the savaging of the First Amendment? Hmmmmm.
"Aw jeez! Not this crap again!"
Pardon me. The increase in 170 “incidents” occurred over a four year period. That’s an increase of 43 per year in a nation of 300,000,000 people. Statistical noise. Probably due to increased reporting caused by increased awareness of the possibility of reporting a crime as a “hate crime.”
“ANOTHER SALVO AGAINST FREE SPEECH”
Talking about the right to life incites the death of abortionists. Talking about illegal immigration leads to their death. I’m sure there’s more or at least more coming down the pike.
If that’s the case Politicains and Lawyers better watch their backs.
Don’t you just love how these lefties keep using the words “immigrant” and “immigration?”
They should be using the words “illegal alien” and
“committing a criminal act by entering America without permission.”
In a nation of 300 million this is nothing. Where are the stats and trends for crimes created by illegals, and auto accidents and deaths caused by them?
“The sun rising in the morning correlates closely with the cock crowing. Ergo......”
I’m willing to bet this article is about a black mob attacking whites. Four separate crimes and no identity at all given for the victims.
The guy arrested, his name is given, but no picture.
So my question is, are hate crimes against whites included in this tally or only those directed against Hispanics and Blacks?
Article:
http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/47987841.html
If a Black gang banger shoots a Hispanic, it will be labeled an "anti-Hispanic hate crime". If a Hispanic gang banger shoots a Black, it will be labeled an "anti-Black hate crime". When statistics are compiled, they will be reported with the implication that it's all the fault of those hateful white Christians.
Debate causes hate..therefore we must end debate.
A single party state is the only solution.
The Philly flash-mob was black. The guy on the bicycle was white. Don’t know about the other assaults.
Whatever they have to say about their perception of bigotry on the part of others really has to be substantially discounted.

Does CRIMMIGRANT sound too mean?
Since January,2008 more than 1,300 people have been killed in execution-style hits or gunned down in fire fights, which often rage for hours in broad daylight and turn residential neighbourhoods into war zones. If the trend continues, 2008 will top last year's toll of 2,500 deaths in drug-related killings.You don't hear so much about Americans at the Border. Too bad.
More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says The liberal LA Times is now reporting that Mexico's drug wars are now north of the borders--but soto voce. Think about it. A man or woman killed in Iraq or Iran in the line of duty is a hero. But what is an American killed at home by an illegal alien because the government has failed in its sworn duty to guard the borders. This is a pact between the sovereign and the person has paid taxes and loyalty. The answer is to that question is pretty awful. And it bodes ill for the republic.
But is it true?
Yes, according Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa.When you start digging into the numbers the only ones that can be sourced with the feds are the number of American murdered in 2005: 16692
I have seen federal numbers for illegals held in jail ranging from 19.3% to 27% of the federal prison population.
Here's a sampling of USA cities wanted for murder. What you'll see is that in big USA cities like LA or NYC most of the murderers are Hispanic. Unknown are the % of illegals. In smaller cities the FBI will post the nationalities of the murderers. About 25% of the most wanted are illegals wanted for murder. This number agrees with the percentage of illegals incarcerated in federal prisons. +-25%Pictures of top 10 most wanted in LA. Up until recent stories about crime in LA posted by the LA Times--the pictures included the nationality of the murderers. They were all foreign nationals and mostly Mexican.

FBI USA 10 most wanted. (two of 10 are Mexican nationals) Around 40% of the FBI's wanted for murder are Mexican Nationals
There are currently no exact numbers on the number of Americans killed by illegals. Part of the reason is that the government deliberately obscures the number. I talked on the phone with the head of statistics for the US Bureau of Prisons. He said his office wasn't allowed to publish the number of illegal alien murderers. Rather they were forced to put legal and non legal residents in the same category. He said further that most of illegals in the federal prisons were in for drug related charges. Most of the illegals in jail for murder were in the state prisons. I talked to ICE. They put out detailed numbers on illegal child molestors. However, they put out nothing on illegal murderers.
Part of the reason for the silence on the matter is that there is evidence to suggest that most Americans--but by no means all -- being killed by illegals are black--as is the suggestion in this LA Times Article. Also this article from the LA Times. And here. This makes intuitive sense. We see stories regularly of drug gang killings in Mexico but we don't see those same stories in the USA. The reason we don't see those stories is not because its not happening. Rather we don't see the stories about illegals killing blacks because that kind of story is terribly politically incorrect. The populations being displaced in downtown sanctuary cities especially are American blacks. That means that their criminal elements would be pushed aside by Mexican gangs as well. That's also the story that the wanted for murder posters in all the major cities seems to suggest.
Why isn't there an outcry in the black community? Beats me.
Nevertheless, the pattern of non reporting is starting to break. Discovery Channel has a series called Gangland that mentions ethnic cleasing of blacks by Mexican gangs. One woman in San Francisco who had her family killed by an illegal is even demanding the city to drop its sanctuary city status. Illegals themselves have become the targets of kidnappers Mexican style in Arizona where drug money from south of the border is often parked.

That said, the true number of criminal aliens is far higher than is revealed by criminal aliens in prisons. Most are simply waived through the courts. DHS Secretary Chertoff, has been quoted as warning that two million people in this country illegally have committed serious crimes. Here is more info from Judicial Watch.
However the number of illegals on death row is far lower. Sadly, so many small towns and villages across America have sent their warriors off to war half way across the world only to see communities fill up with illegal aliens. The Center For Immigration Studies has provided a detailed account of the illegal alien gang problem
Oh there's one other cost of illegals that has gone generally unnoticed. Calling the Old Media: 2.3 Million Illegals Have Illegal Mortgages in U.S.A.!
MALKIN: Illegal immigrant factor
Once again its helpful to provide some maps and stats: Look at the map where those who owe more than the house is worth. Notice any similarities to the unemployment picture and concentrations of illegals Here's another map with better visuals and stats.
Sadly Illegal Immigrants To Get Next Bailout
The statistics and rise of incidents is likely all related to gang activity tolerated by the government. it serves their purposes in order to produce said statistics.
