Immigrant bashing began long before the economic bust of the last year or so. There was the hate-laced campaign for California’s 1994 Proposition 187, which aimed to deny almost all government services to illegal immigrants and their children and produced a spate of hate crimes aimed at Latinos, immigrants or not.
But as the economy sank last fall, the rhetoric became more shrill and the crescendo is still rising. Some of it feels a bit like the Depression-era anti-Semitism purveyed by the likes of Father Charles Coughlin of the now-defunct National Union for Social Justice and the Rev. Gerald Winrod of the equally defunct Defenders of the Christian Faith, who blamed Jews for every ill that befell America.
I think it's because citizens do not want to compete with illegals for jobs, even perceived lowly ones. Making money, not paying many taxes and then ship that cash out of country. And those working do not want their tax dollars supporting illegals when we have our own to care for. Very simple.
what part of illegal immigration is so hard to understand. its not race its not bashing. its not discrimination. do we discriminate against bank robbery? you betcha.
Whole lot of hyperbole in that article.
Denying illegal immigrants healthcare is not the same as blaming the 'jews' for an economic disaster.
I'm surprised this bozo hasn't made parallels between SS roundups of jews to gas chambers and ICE raids.
Well, maybe that will be his next editorial.

Some po illegal apologists are attempting to do just that---------which is a slap in the face of the Holocaust victims.

Why do you guys always do that?
The comparison isn't with the Holocaust of Jews, but with the sentiment toward Jews that preceded events like the seizure of Jewish assets, forcing them into Ghettos, and eventually the genocide of them.
There's a big difference. The holocaust was an event that was enacted by one country(with the support of a few others). The anti-Jew sentiment, and the blaming of Jews for everything wrong in the world was(is) much more spread out and common.
So whenever someone compares the way specifically Latino illegals are blamed by everything wrong with the country, it isn't that farfetched to compare it to Jewish people being blamed for everything wrong, instead of considering a bunch of other causes that collectively bring on a problem.
But as usual, you guys feign insult, and act as it is implied that deportations are comparable to the most brutal of acts during the Holocaust. That's not the comparison being made.
Although a lot of the attitudes common in both situations are very present. And the fact that the people aren't citizens of the country doesn't make a lot of the attitudes out there any easier to swallow.
Comparing what happened to German citizens who happen to be of the Jewish faith during the Holocaust vs. our attempts to evict illegal aliens alive out of the USA are not one and the same----------and, YOU, antialphabet do know the difference.
Such rhetoric is emblematic of the sheer desperation of the pro illegal apologists as the hammer continues to claim more criminals.
I didn't see anything about Germany or Holocause in the posted parts of the article. It was talking about Depression-era America. Nothing even to do with Nazi camps or the run-up to that. Just that once-upon a time people in the US used to scapegoat Jews for their economic problems, and the attitudes and actions associated with that.
