The only apprpriate “debate” regarding illegal invaders would be paraphrased by Ronald Reagan as “We win, they loose.”
These traitors in our midst, these pandering liberals simply don;t get it and never will. We should ignore them and concentrate on the prostitutes in Washington and make it clear to them that their cushy careers as elected “professional” legislators are on the line when it comes to illegal invaders and pandering to them and those miscreants who support them.
I could probably spend hours at Google looking for more stuff, but I gave up. Ostendorf comes up with more coalitons/activists groups than you can shake a stick at. IMO, he is the personification of all things deemed "progressive."

Staff and Board Members
The Reverend David L. Ostendorf, Executive Director
Bio: Rev. David Ostendorf is a United Church of Christ Minister currently serving as Executive Director of the Chicago-based Center for New Community. Since 1974 he has been engaged in social, economic, and racial justice organizing, and in that capacity has worked closely with the nation's religious and civic community at every level. The Center, established in 1995, is committed to building democratic communities for justice and racial equality. Its faith based organizing commitments, and its commitments to build a racially just society are carried out nationwide.Also see:Note from the Executive Director [Ostendorf] -- July 24, 2007 -- We are in the early stages of launching the Midwest Immigrant Health Project, a major new initiative to work with immigrants in Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri on a range of both community and plant health care issues in a dozen meatpacking and poultry processing communities.
The project complements our Institute for Rural Pastoral Leadership, underway in Nebraska and working with religious leaders to address a range of social, economic, and racial justice concerns in their communities.
Our commitments to counter anti-immigrant activity nationally are also growing, particularly with our emerging Campaign for a United America and our Which Way Forward initiative with African American leaders.

Exactly. Anyone with computer access and ten dollars and change can put up a web site ... even in Chicago!
What was compelling (at least for me) is that "news" of this web site ended up in print in an Orange County newspaper and quoted (GO.POUND.SAND) Rusty Kennedy of OC infamy.
I'm also apparently fascinated by claims of "mass" insurrection ... even (especially) minus the "mass."
I don't even recall the "Center for New Community" being mentioned on the subject web site (which I am currently having issues reaching).
Many thanks for your worthy research!
Calls for “civil” debate only ever mean “abandon your views and accept mine”. That is true no matter who is calling for civility.
