Because I’m just that kinda gal, I spend a lot of time surfing anti-immigrant sites so that you don’t have to. It’s not a lot of fun, but I often come up with some really startling/interesting news about the latest shenanigans of those God-Loving-Mexkin-haters.
For example, the latest news sweeping the hate-o-sphere is that Nancy Pelosi is not really sorta anti-immigrant, but really, she’s secretly advocating to destroy ICE (the lovely organization that conducts raids that destroy families). Where did the God-Loving-Mexkin-haters (GLMH’s) get this information? Well, apparently there was a press conference put together by pro-immigration groups to announce a protest for the day after Obama’s inauguration, and they let the news slip:
“We applaud Speaker Nancy Pelosi for expressing her support for ending worksite raids and for calling for just and humane immigration reform,” Hong said.
The raids, according to Hong, have been “one of the most destructive aspects of our failed immigration policy.” She said raids on companies that employ illegal aliens “separate families and destroy work places.”
Now, of course, when I googled Nancy Pelosi and “ending workshite raids” I got no results back–and when I googled the more ambiguous Nancy Pelosi and “ICE raids” I got the Vivir Latino post about how Nancy is ‘maybe’ considering ‘maybe’ not allowing a path to citizenship for undocumented ‘maybe’ workers…
But hell, don’t let the google Gods get in the way of Mexkin hating panic. Not when it’s so fun.
On a more serious note, this should be proof to you about how well the GLMH folks are organized. They are organizing around a press release, folks. Time for us to come out of our Obama loving haze, huh?
