Crank Calls Plague Racial Profiling Hotline

The crank phone calls greatly outnumbered the legitimate ones today on a new racial profiling hotline.

Elias Bermudez of Immigrants Without Borders says of 100 calls, five complaints are being forwarded to attorneys as possible civil rights violations.

"We're just taking all the information. We are going to turn this over to attorneys who are going to be reviewing each one of these cases and they're going to be calling these people in for an interview. They're the ones who are going to make the legal decision to submit to the U.S. attorney's office," Bermudez said.

One involved a man stopped for no apparent reason.

"He was just stopped to check and see if he had a valid license then and they also asked him for legal status," Bermudez said.

The man was never told why he was stopped.

"He was not issued a report or a ticket," Bermudez said.

A total of four hotlines are being operated by Latino rights groups.

It's a reaction to a hotline established by Sheriff Joe Arpaio for reporting illegal immigrants.

Bermudez said the hotline has also received several angry calls from people who want all illegals to leave the state.

"We are very much afraid that this is going to escalate into a confrontational situation where we will have riots and we will have some violent reaction from our community and we don't want that," Bermudez said.

Riot threat! This fits with our understanding of the increased desperations in the ranks of the illegals.

"We are very much afraid that this is going to escalate into a confrontational situation where we will have riots and we will have some violent reaction from our community and we don't want that," Bermudez said.

My thoughts exactly as I read this.

If they do riot they will loose

any hope for legalization as

more americans will join our

voices,instead of remaining

silent,for them to be removed

from American soil.

Riots because of prank calls? Who is going to riot, the illegals? If they riot, it will make it easier to be rounded up and sent home.

...Well.....excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Ms. Bermudez...I kinda feel you have violated MY civil rights by inviting-aiding-and abetting illegal aliens into MY country.

Who do you think should be stopped, Elias ? White and black Americans only? If it is against the law to be here illegaly, how do you expect to know who is here legally? wait for illegals to come up and announce their status? You're just showing your stupidity.

"We are very much afraid that this is going to escalate into a confrontational situation where we will have riots and we will have some violent reaction from our community and we don't want that," Bermudez said.

...allright, she's stepped in it now...get this to an attorney and have this instigator prosecuted for SEDITION.

Oh yeah....PLEASE riot!!! Nothing could be better for our cause.

OK, a lot of calls can be traced just by caller ID - why don't they find and prosecute these people. Sentence them to hard labor and let them pick the fruits and veggies they are so concerned about.

Did he just threaten us?

wow!!!!




I better bite my tounge.....
