The public face of the anti-immigrant movement tries to distance itself from some of the slightly more violent wings of White Supremacy. Why? Because this anti-immigration movement is trying to get married to the state and it doesn’t want the state to know that its been sleeping around. But when you do all you can to get yourself in the public eye, eventually the paparazzi is going to find that love letter that you keep hidden in shed.

The love letter[PDF] came in the form of an email from Laine Lawless, founder of the Border Guardians, to Mark Martin, “SS commander” of the Western Ohio unit of the National Socialist Movement. For those not familiar with National Socialism, you may be more familiar with its shortened name, Nazi. The NSM is a 30-year-old direct decendent of the American Nazi Party. Until recently, the NSM was small in comparison to other neo-Nazi groups in the US, but has quickly found its numbers rising across the country. And with the fervor of the anti-immigrant movement, a surge in activity has begun.

The Southern Poverty Law Center highlights some of the recent disturbing activity among extremist White Supremacists:

• On May 6, the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan held an anti-immigration rally in Russellville, Alabama, that drew more than 300 Klansmen and Klan supporters, including members of the neo-Nazi hate group Aryan Nations. At the rally, robed Klansmen burned a 22-foot-high cross and yelled, “Let’s get rid of the Mexicans!”
• Also on May 6, when Hispanic families in Tucson gathered in a park to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, anti-immigration extremist Roy Warden arrived, strapped with a pistol, and led a demonstration. “Listen up, Mexican invaders,” Warden said. “We will not permit you, the ignorant, the savage, the unwashed, to overrun us, as happened in Rome…Land must be paid for in blood. If any invader tries to take this land from us we will wash this land and nurture our soil with oceans of their blood!”
  Warden later e-mailed a death threat to Isabel Garcia, a Tucson public defender who co-chairs the human rights group Derechos Humanos. The e-mail was titled, “Warden to Isabel Garcia: I will blow your freaking head off!”
• On April 29 a neo-Nazi in East Hampton, New York, was arrested for threatening two Hispanic teenagers with a machete and chainsaw, holding the blade to the throat of one while threatening to kill them.
• On April 22, a 17-year-old Hispanic high school football player was dragged from a suburban house party in Texas and savagely attacked by two white assailants, one of them a neo-Nazi skinhead, according to Harris County law enforcement officials.
  Police said the attackers, Keith Robert Turner, 17, and David Henry Tuck, 18, apparently were enraged because the victim tried to kiss a young Hispanic girl they believed to be Caucasian. After forcing the Hispanic youth into a backyard, Turner and Tuck burned his neck with cigarettes, stomped his head with steel-toed boots, slashed his chest with a knife, all while shouting racial slurs. They then stripped him naked and sodomized him with a patio umbrella pole.
  Tuck, the skinhead, kicked the pole repeatedly.
  “I don’t mean just a little bit,” said Harris County prosecutor Mike Trent. “He kicked it in and shoved it so far in that he has caused major organ damage. It looks like they were really trying to kill him and torture him anyway they could.”
  The victim remains in critical condition.
• On March 27, New Jersey-based neo-Nazi radio host Hal Turner called for the mass murder of Hispanics and the assassination of U.S. senators who support guest worker programs. “All of you who think there’s a peaceful solution to these invaders are wrong. We’re going to have to start killing these people,” Turner said. “I advocate using extreme violence against illegal aliens. Clean your guns. Have plenty of ammunition. Find out where the largest gathering of illegal aliens will be near you. Go to the area well in advance, scope out several places to position yourself and then do what has to be done.” Turner directed his listeners to a website that provides detailed instructions on constructing pipe bombs, ammonium nitrate “fertilizer bombs,” car bombs, chlorine gas bombs, and other homemade explosive devices.

Among the list was the letter from Lawless to Martin. Lawless was one of the original members of what is now known as the Minuteman Project. About a year ago, she formed her own “border patrol militia” but has remained on good terms with others in the anti-immigrant movement. On April 3rd, she sent an email to Martin highlighting some of her ideas about how the Nazis could effectively get more involved behind the scenes of the anti-immigrant movement. The email was title “How to GET RID OF THEM!” In it, Lawless shares that the movement has done well in helping to close the borders but that they need to do more to get Latin@s to leave the US. She list eleven suggestions to make this happen. They are as follows:

1. As has been discussed, once the economic incentives are removed, they will self-deport. In order to do this, we need to intimidate employers into NOT hiring them, as it seems the fedgov is doing a lousy job of this.
2. Police departments need to be held accountable for just giving a “get out of jail free” card to unlicensed, uninsured drivers of unlicensed cars when they are caught. No more sanctuary or Special Order 40. Citizens need to get together and pressure mayors, city councils, and the police departments to turn these people over to the CBP and ICE EVERY TIME they are caught.
3. Make every illegal alien feel the heat of being a fugitive and a person without proper status. I’m sure there are many creative ways to do this. I hear the rednecks in the South are beating up illegals as the textile mills have closed. Use your imagination…
4. Sabotage the things that they like: entertainment, food, beer, overpopulation, wife-beating, drunk driving, treating American women with disrespect, etc. Put them in their place. BRAVO to the person who cut down the Spanish language radio station towers just North of Phoenix! Now that sends a message!
5. Do the best you can to scare the bejeezuz out of them if you encounter them crossing the border. This doesn’t have to be harmful; some good psy-ops would do.
6. Send native agents provocateurs and disinfo specialists into Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala (the largest emigration nations) to discourage and sabotage immigrants and their smugglers from coming to the US.
7. Deprive illegals of the smuggling money they pay. Steal the money from any illegal walking into a bank or check cashing place. Steal the money from the smugglers. Expose slavery and prostitution rings run by smugglers.
8. Create an anonymous propaganda campaign warning that any further illegal immigrants coming here will be shot, maimed, or seriously messed-up upon crossing the border. This should be fairly easy to do, considering the hysteria of the Spanish language press, and how they view the Minutemen as “racists & vigilantes.” I say, if it bleeds, it leads, and why not work on their fears? Create a totally false news story and circulate it on the internet about how some illegals were killed by vigilantes after crossing the border.
9. Discourage Spanish-speaking school children from going to public school. Be creative.
10. Stand in front of public voting places and ask everyone who comes to vote if they speak English.
11. Lobby Congress or your local state legislature to drop all ESL and classes conducted only in Spanish.

Wow. Voting booth actions remeniscent of the days of Jim Crow. Direct threats against children. Advocating physical violence and murder. Calling for more police violence. Stereotyping any latin@ with money to be a smuggler and advocating robbing them. Psy-ops and more! Hitler must be smiling in Hell.

For many of us, we didn’t need an email to know the intimate relationship between neo-nazis and the “respectable” anti-immigration movement. But what about those who believe the rhetoric of the anti-immigrant movement? There are plenty of people in this country who have fallen into the trap of the anti-immigrant hate speech, but how far will they fall? The Southern Poverty Law Center recently released a report stating that the anti-immigrant movement has caused a 33% increase in neo-nazi group membership in recent years. In her email, Lawless calls upon the NSM’s “warriors for the race” to wipe Latin@ people off the face of the US map. If we do not become warriors in combating groups like Border Guardians, Minuteman Project, National Socialist Movement, and others invovled in this call for the ethnic-cleansing of the US, then we will all find ourselves in the midst of a real war. Don’t believe me? Ask that 17-year-old football player in Texas if he thinks we can sit back and do nothing. The disease of White Supremacy lies within all White people. It is not a disease that we can cure with a pill or with a few choice words. It can only be beaten into remission with constant action. If we do not become actively involved in combating White Supremacy, then it will consume us. So please, take action today to stop the anti-immigrant movement.
