    Anti-Immigration Groups Deny Any Racial Motivation

    Anti-immigration groups deny any racial motivation
    By Deborah Bulkeley
    Deseret Morning News

    A Chicago civil rights activist says ties to white supremacy indicate a growing national movement to curb illegal immigration isn't really about immigrants.
    Devin Burghart, director of the Center for New Community, told a group of Utah community activists Friday that white supremacist groups are feeding off a rising "nativism and xenophobia" in their efforts toward "rolling back" the progress of the 1960s civil rights movement.
    "They work productively . . . to try to put up barriers, to try to block change, to turn back time," Burghart said. "There are those who, for a variety of reasons, want to change immigration policy, who want to change the essence of the make-up of the United States."
    However, Alex Segura of the Utah Minuteman Project and Utahns for Immigration Reform and Enforcement, said neither of the two anti-illegal immigration groups promotes racism.
    He said Burghart's statements are "trying to sweep us into a general pile."
    "I think people are getting off the track here," Segura said. "We're looking at the law, that's all. There are many races that are affected by illegal immigration."
    Minuteman Wally McCormick called Burghart's comments baseless name-calling.
    "We will never assimilate ourselves into any supremacy group," McCormick said. "This is an America of different nationalities, and we're proud of that. . . . You've got to have controlled immigration, not immigration out of control."
    Burghart said there are about 15 national anti-immigration groups, with 600,000 to 750,000 contributors, according to research by the Center for New Community. Those groups, he said, have a combined annual budget of $15 million.
    Archie Archuleta, chairman of the Utah Coalition of La Raza, said the meeting at Centro de La Familia brought together several groups concerned about the human aspect of immigration. Archuleta and others are planning a summit in August to address issues such as the Utah Legislature's joint Education Interim Committee's recent vote to support repealing a law that allows some undocumented students to pay in-state tuition.
    "It also brought forth the idea that there's more to this anti-immigration thing than just the idea of revamping the immigration code," Archuleta said. "There are a lot of people who are worried about immigration who would like to see it fixed, and something done, and they are not racist.
    "(Burghart) was right in pointing out that the groups who financed these issues . . . have a bad reputation about racism."
    Burghart said ideas that were once on the fringe have been mainstreamed, using as evidence a quote by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke: "Every new immigrant adds to our crime problems, our welfare rolls and unemployment of American citizens . . ."
    Burghart said Duke made the comment more than 20 years ago while attempting to garner support for a border watch effort, which he called similar to April's Minuteman Project, when citizens watched a stretch of the Arizona-Mexico border and reported crossers.

    Get a clue Mr. Burghart.

    We don't want to change immigration policy necessarlily, we want our immigration laws ENFORCED.

    We also don't want to turn our country into Mexico North.

    Have you ever noticed.....

    How these jerks NEVER talk about the FACTS and STATISTICS that SUPPORT what illegal immigration IS DOING!? Why? They can't! They cannot change the facts, so they ignore them and still keep trying to throw up their guilt trips!

    Has anyone ever wondered, when all these diseases take over, what country would want a business here, what tourist would want to come here? NONE! These idiots are not only destroying us, but themselves as well. Disease knows no bounderies! It does not care how much money you have. It does not care about your children. EVERYONE will suffer the consequences of these immoral, money grubbing, self centered, egotistical, lying SOB's!
    Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God

    The first thing I noticed, which I also noticed in the buildingdemocracy.org "report" on alipac, was the blatant lie they paint us with... that we are anti-immigration. They totally ignore that what we oppose is ILLEGAL immigration. We do not even call for an end to immigration.. only a moratorium (which simply means a pause or time out) until we secure our borders and assimilate some of what is already here. (buildingdemocracy.org is 3 lies for the price of one.. they are destroying, the result will NOT be democracy, and judging from their site hits, they are hardly organized)

    Get used to lying attack pieces against us.. we are going to have more. Personally, I was tickled to death to see that "report" by destroyingdemocracy.org, when they are going to the trouble to attack us like that... it means we are doing something right.

    DonQuixote!! Yes Sir...We are now worth attacking. But what they don't realize is that when they attack US, they are attacking all the people of the United States but for the handful of sicko-wack-evil-parasites-from-hell who would dream of ending the United States using illegal and excessive legal immigration to do it.

    The pro-immigration and open borders groups are many in number and some with 1 guy, some with 5, a few with several hundred and a a couple with a 1000 or so employees if they count the janitors.

    BUT out of 250,000,000 who think as WE DO, they are the True Fledglings. Let them bark their Tales. Like the story of the Boy who cried Wolf too many times, soon, no one will listen, then no one will hear because they do not care to.

    The Action will be with US.

    This guy Burghart is the one that wrote that attack piece and it doesnt take much to call people names.

    He'd rather stick with vague generalities to and several degrees of separation to mask his lies.

    ALIPAC has not said or done one thing that is bigoted. We have made extra efforts to avoid bigotry and to be inclusive. Those that are racist or violent have no comfort here.

    Burghart does not care. He just wants to try and save his career and get in the press somehow so he is going after the biggest dogs in the movement.

    Damn race baiters. They are sick in the head.
