Tea Party groups rallying in support of Arizona immigration law

By John Tomasic 5/6/10 1:48 PM

Anti-illegal immigration groups that oppose policy reform efforts that include amnesty for undocumented workers are organizing rallies around the country and in Phoenix to take place during the first full week of June. Voice of the People USA and Tea Party Patriots Live are coordinating organizing efforts with help from Americans for Legal Immigration PAC. The groups aim to demonstrate support for Arizona’s tough new immigration laws and also push a campaign called “Americans Shopping in Arizona,â€

[quote]Likewise, in a March strategy session, the anti-immigration group NumbersUSA asked members to “leave off the Hispanic-Latino stuffâ€

Past polling, at least, has suggested the tea party movement generally places low priority on immigration. An April Winston Group survey found movement members were primarily motivated by economic and fiscal concerns.

No most in the Teaparty and anti Amnesty movements place a low priority on racism the primary motive of both the Teaparty and the anti Amnesty movements are economic and fiscal concerns.
