BIASED? What an understatement. They make Pearce sound like he is engaging in a personal war against immigrants from all countries. Opps...I guess they just forgot to add the word "illegal?"

Consider the source: the name of the site is "Immigrant Rights". Russell Pearce, who himself is rarely mentioned (or at least favorably) in the media or outside of Arizona, has worked for years to get laws which will "pass legal muster" passed in Arizona to protect citizens of that state from the ill effects of unchecked illegal immigration. The several laws now being passed in Arizona and gaining public favor ( those restricting ethnic education programs and teachers who do not speak understandable English in addition to SB 1070) ultimately are the result of positions Pearce took and work he did while they were still very unpopular. I thought the video would give hime some exposure to readers here - we owe Russell Pearce a great debt of gratitude, in my opinion at least, and it was my suggestion that people scroll past the written copy to the video itself.
