Report ties increase in hate crimes to ‘anti-immigrant vitriol.’

A new report by the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund shows a close correlation between the increasingly volatile immigration debate and a growing number of hate crimes against Latinos and “perceived immigrants.” The report, “Confronting the New Faces of Hate,” calls out a number of restrictionist groups that consistently invoke anti-immigrant rhetoric as they try to make the case against immigration:

“In one of the most disturbing developments of recent years, some groups opposing immigration reform, such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), and NumbersUSA, have inflamed the immigration debate by invoking the dehumanizing, racist stereotypes and bigotry of hate groups.”

According to the Washington Post, hate crimes against Latinos have been going up for four consecutive years, jumping from 426 to 595 incidents in the last year alone with a 40 percent overall increase between 2003 and 2007.

    Hate speech incites hate crimes. Cause-effect.

    Targets defined as gay, pro-choice, non-Anglo whites (Mexicans and Muslims) and the KKK favs, African Americans and Jews. Oh, and liberals, liberals, liberals!

    Of these targets, the only group the on air wingnuttery doesn’t demonize is the Jews.

    My grandparents came over legally and worked hard to obtain the American dream. I have no problem with those who come legally.
    Question: Is there a limit that any of you would ever place on the number of immigrants entering the country? Just let anyone and everyone who wants to come to the U. S. come as long as the pull the lever for a democrat. Brilliant

  62. Keith says:

    Illegal immigrants do not vote.

    Corporations that contribute to Republicans love illegal immigrants because they keep wages low, do not get healthcare, sick pay, holiday pay, annual leave, nor job security. Maybe that is why far more companies were prosecuted under Clinton than under Reagan, Bush, or Bush. If you prosecute companies, they will not hire and the illegals will not come here.

    AG Gonzales was asked if his grandparents came to the US legally. He said “That is unclear”.

    POTTSVILLE, Pa. – An all-white jury on Friday acquitted two Pennsylvania teenagers of all serious charges against them stemming from the fatal beating of an illegal Mexican immigrant last summer. A representative for the victim’s family called the result an outrage.

  66. American Patriot says:

    Mike Cutler, a former senior special agent with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (the former INS), is a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies and an advisor to Family Security Matters (FSM). He says the high number of Americans being killed by illegal aliens is just part of the collateral damage that comes with tolerating illegal immigration.
    “The military actually called for the BORTAC team, … the elite unit of the Border Patrol, to be detailed to Iraq to help to secure the Iraqi border,” Cutler notes. “Now, if our military can understand that Iraq’s security depends in measure on the ability to protect its border against insurgents and terrorists, then why isn’t our country similarly protecting our own borders?” he asks.

    “We are now five and a half years, nearly, after 9/11, and yet our borders remain open,” the Center for Immigration Studies fellow observes. “We have National Guardsmen assigned on the border, but it turns out they are unarmed,” he points out. “Their rules of engagement are very simple: if armed intruders head your way, run in the other direction.”

    This situation would “almost be comical if it wasn’t so tragic,” Cutler asserts. “If our borders are wide open, this means that drugs, criminals, and terrorists are entering our country just as easily as the dishwashers,” he says.

    The report from FSM estimates that the 267,000 illegal aliens currently incarcerated in the nation are responsible for nearly 1,300,000 crimes, ranging from drug arrests to rape and murder. Such statistics, Cutler contends, debunk the claim that illegal immigration is a victimless crime. “Then we even have another problem,” he adds, “and that’s the Visa Waiver Program.”

    The federal government’s Visa Waiver Program enables nationals of certain countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. According to the U.S. State Department website, the waiver program was established in 1986 with the objective of “eliminating unnecessary barriers to travel,” stimulating America’s tourism industry, and allowing the government to focus consular resources in other areas.

    Cutler says the U.S. retains the Visa Waiver Program because the nation’s travel, tourism, and hospitality industries want America’s borders wide open. In other words, the former INS official contends, the nation’s security is being compromised in the name of trade.

    Three people – two North Carolina State University students and a 16-year-old – have been killed by an illegal alien, who allegedly was driving drunk, and already had a record of crime in the United States.

    Authorities say Pastor Rios Sanchez, 55, is expected back in a North Carolina court on Nov. 15 on charges he killed Helen Meghan Hughes, 22, of Summerville, S.C., Jennifer Carter, 18, of Jacksonville, N.C., and Hughes’ stepbrother, 16-year-old Ben Leonard.

    * Their arrests represented a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, some 13 offenses per illegal alien;

    I’ve personally known two illegal aliens over the past few years. Both women, both blonde, blue-eyed and very pretty. One from Ireland, one from the Czech Republic. Both came here as tourists and never left. One married, got her green card and is on the path to citizenship. The other continues to work off the books.

    I’m guessing these aren’t the illegal aliens the right rails against. To them, illegals = Mexicans

    Igmo, the 911 terrorists were here on student visas

    Xisithrus Says:

    According to rosie cowdonnel it’s 12,000,000.


  101. Xisithrus says:

    What do you want Patriot, war with Mexico? Would that solve the illegal problem?

    Has killing, and war, over thousands of years led to peace?


  102. Xisithrus says:

    How many illegals have you hired AP and when did you stop beating them?


  103. American Patriot says:

    Has killing, and war, over thousands of years led to peace?

    Are illegals behind the wheel, stabbing and killing innocent people “peaceful” to you?


  104. American Patriot says:

    Igmo, the 911 terrorists were here on student visas

    Thanks for making my point.


  105. American Patriot says:

    Andy J. Maguino, a Peruvian illegal alien living and working illegally in New Jersey, has pleaded guilty in the death of Alice “Lolly” Myers, 72.

    Ms. Myers was killed when Maguino’s vehicle hit her while the senior citizen was crossing the street. Maguino fled the scene of the accident and later turned himself into police. Police determined that Chavez did not have a driver’s license.

    The Prosecutors office has recommended probation and community service.

    Nice, huh?


  106. Xisithrus says:

    Has any empire survived? Has any race, white, black brown, yellow ever gone extinct because of war?

    Co-exist you ignorant eyes wide open fools who cannot comprehend that color is an illusion, electomagnetic waves, that by differing frequency, are assigned different ‘color’ by your glob of pink freaking jelly inside your boney head?


  107. American Patriot says:

    Raul Ponce-Rocha, 22, an illegal alien has been arrested and charged in the May 2nd murder of high school senior Breanna Schneller, 18, of Wausau, Wisconsin. Schneller was a student at Everest High School where she was to graduate. It was reported that Schneller was attacked and murdered in her bedroom.


  108. American Patriot says:

    Felix Ortega, an indigent illegal alien living in Huntsville, Alabama, has been arrested and charged with murder in a fiery traffic crash that resulted in the death of 16-year-old Leigh Anna Jimmerson and her boyfriend, Tad Mattle, 19.

    The teenagers died after Ortega allegedly driving drunk, crashed into the Grissom High School graduate and student’s vehicle.

    Ortega reportedly has several previous DUI convictions and has used several aliases with the Huntsville Police Department.

    A human with a name killed a human 72 years old.

    Its not right, it shouldnt happem, but, please, just stop trying to get others involved with your cultural bias.


  110. American Patriot says:

    Eleazar Rangel-Ochoa, an illegal alien living in Nebraska, has been arrested in the traffic death of 4-year-old Josie Bluhm. The child died after Rangel-Ochoa’s vehicle crashed into the Bluhm family minivan. Rangel-Ochoa was on his way to a construction site where he was working illegally as a drywall installer. The vehicle Rangel-Ochoa was driving was owned by his brother. Rangel-Ochoa was uninsured.

    Rangel-Ochoa has been charged with driving on a suspended license and motor vehicle homicide.

    Rangel-Ochoa has reportedly been living in the U.S. for 14 years. Although he has had several prior arrests, including multiple DUI arrests, he was never turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for being in the U.S. illegally.


  111. American Patriot says:

    Jose Chavez, an illegal alien living illegally in Tennessee, has been arrested in the vehicular death of off-duty police officer Jeffery Stone.

    Officer Stone who was riding his motorcycle while off-duty was allegedly hit by Chavez whose BMW reportedly crossed into Stone’s path, causing the fatal accident.

    Police determined that Chavez did not have a driver’s license and that he and his passenger, Barrea Montes were both in the country illegally.

  113. spencers mom says:

    Good to see you far left haters could care less about Americans killed by illegals

    I can’t speak for all of us, but I don’t hate the far left. And I care about everyone who is killed here in the U.S., regardless of their immigration status. I also care about all of those who have died needlessly in Iraq, Afghanistan, Darfur, Rwanda, Israel, Palestine… I even care about those killed in *gasp* Mexico.

    I don’t hate the far right either, but find those who speak, act, and troll for them to be a hateful group.

    PEACE


  114. dbadass says:

    Hey poser are you talking to yourself?


  115. spencers mom says:

    Oh, and by the way, the expression “could care less” doesn’t mean what you think it means. Try “couldn’t care less” next time, as in “ThinkProgress couldn’t care less about your posts.”

    PEACE


  116. American Patriot says:

    Jose Luis Galindo-Sanchez, 26, a Mexican illegal alien living in New Jersey, has been arrested and charged with witness tampering, hindering apprehension and obstruction of justice [why not vehicular homicide?] in the death of 27-year-old Amy Voorhees of Evesham, N.J.. Voorhees was killed after her vehicle was struck by Galindo-Sanchez who was driving a pickup truck to his [illegal] job. Accompanying Galindo-Sanchez was his 19-year-old brother Lucio Garcia-Sanchez who is also illegally working and living in the U.S.. He was arrested after leaving the scene of the accident and charged as a material witness.

    Do guns kill people AP?


  119. American Patriot says:

    Manuel Cazares, 32, an illegal alien from Mexico, has been arrested for the murder of Amanda Thomas, 27, and Thomas’ acquaintance, Carl Patrick Epley, 25. The two victims were allegedly stabbed to death by Cazares in Thomas’ public housing complex apartment on February 28, 2009 in Hannibal, Missouri.


  120. wiley says:

    Wow. Mexicans can be criminals. Let’s give AmericanPatriot a big round of applause for pointing out the obvious. Unless he wants to start posting examples of all the immigrants who aren’t guilty of a crime, perhaps he should be encouraged to give his little example-fest a rest.

    I know he thinks he’s being logical.


  121. American Patriot says:

    Alex Perez-Escalante, an illegal alien from Mexico illegally living in Tampa, Florida has been arrested in the death of a yet identified pedestrian. Perez-Escalante allegedly ran over the victim in his SUV after leaving the Palladium strip club [So much for illegal aliens "hiding in the shadows" as President Obama and the congressional Democratic leadership would like us to believe. ]


  122. Xisithrus says:

    Using figures from government databases and national surveys on alcohol use, researchers at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) found that drinking-related accidental deaths among 18- to 24-year-old students have been creeping upward — from 1,440 in 1998 to 1,825 in 2005.


  123. dbadass says:

    So is the point supposed to be that illegals commit more crimes than citizens because clearly that isn’t the case. The vast amount of crime in the US is committed by white males by far. Archie is such a meathead…


  124. American Patriot says:

    Update: Eulalio Haro, an illegal alien from Mexico was finally convicted January 22, 2009, in the 2006 homicide of Dean Knospe of Crystal Lake.

    Haro, who had been previously been deported several times for other crimes, was driving under the influence on June 24, 2006 in which he crashed his vehicle into Knospe and left Knospe to die in the roadway.

    Haro had previously served prison time for another crash in 1993, after which he was deported but later illegally re-entered the United States.


  125. Xisithrus says:

    Please, AP, use your head, I know you have one, it screams all the time.


  126. dbadass says:

    How come chumpy hasn’t selected any Columbians yet. Are Columbians too pussy to commit crimes?


  127. Xisithrus says:

    The vast amount, in fact all, crimes are committed by human beings.


  128. spencers mom says:

    Since the thread has turned into a one-sided police blotter:

    On the evening of November 6, 1963, Laura Welch, 17, failed to stop her Chevy sedan at a stop sign and smashed into a Corvair being driven by Michael Douglas, also 17. Welch and her passenger, Judy Dykes, were treated for minor injuries at a nearby hospital. Douglas died from his injuries after being thrown from his car and breaking his neck. No police charges were filed and paperwork from the accident is missing or unclear.

    Laura Welch fully recovered, married and took her husband’s name. She is now known as Laura Bush.

    PEACE


  129. ElBruce says:

    American Patriot Says:

    (nothing)

    Violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants aren’t significantly higher per-capita than violent crimes committed by citizens. Any specifics you cite (and please stop citing individual cases, you fcuktard) are purely anecdotal. Should I copy the police blotter of every city in the nation into this thread for every crime committed by a citizen? Would that prove something to you?

    On the other hand, violent crimes committed against illegal aliens are disproportionately high.

    .

    American Patriot Says:

    A baby killer gets killed and you wad up your panties.

    If you’re referring to the murder of Dr. Tiller, that was of some political concern because it grew out of a movement of people fomenting violence by calling him names like “baby killer.” Such people helped lead to his death.

    That is to say, it’s not the random violence that is of political concern, but rather the organized movement of people trying to cause violence.

    There would be a similar concern if, for instance, someone on the Internet were trying to repeatedly paint immigrants as violent criminals in order to foment violence against them. Say, by posting up every individual instance of a violent crime committed by an immigrant…


  130. Keith says:

    AP, you had no idea how many of our troops died in Iraq, did you?


  131. ElBruce says:

    American Patriot Says:

    This is America. People would like to keep it that way.

    Not me. You know that secret conspiracy to eliminate white Anglo culture in the U.S? It’s not a secret conspiracy any more. I’m admitting it openly. I want all white people bred out of existence, and white culture remembered only as a relic of a more barbaric time. So run back to the compound and tell all your cousins. It’s on.


  132. Keith says:

    Did you know Mexico’s and Colombia’s drug cartels come to the US to buy their weaponry because it is the easiest place to buy a large number of high-powered weaponry. It also said this in al Qaeda’s manual.


  133. Xisithrus says:

    American Patriot Says: This is America. People would like to keep it that way.

    Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
    “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
    With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”


  134. Xisithrus says:

    Culture my behind, the same DNA is in all humans, color is not the problem, culture is not the problem, its materialism for thats what gives power. And power corrupts all colors. All cultures.

    You want power? You want to more matter? Here, take it, it will destroy you as it has done many cultures.


  135. ElBruce says:

    I think it’s teh funneh how AP thinks that the appropriate way to respond to a post titled “Report ties increase in hate crimes to ‘anti-immigrant vitriol.’” is to come in here and spew anti-immigrant vitriol. Is there no trap a wingnut won’t march straight into?


  136. wiley says:

    They work so hard defending their racism. AP reminds me of parents who beat their children then get upset when other people spank them. Only white men should murder white men!


  137. EugeneDebs says:

    AmPat you are a coward a punk and an ignorant piece of garbage why havent you killed yourself yet? You pathetic bigot. Just go kill yourself. You are too stupid to serve mankind in any other way than ridding the Earth of your stench and unburdening Americans of your pitiful and staggering stupidity. Just go kill yourself


  138. Perry logan says:

    I have no doubt the right’s incontinent rhetoric has raised the violent crime rate in America in all sorts of ways. For wingers, their constant, morbid anger is a kind of fetish, and the need to spread that hatred is phenomenal.

    Imagine a visitor from the past getitng a load of right-wing hate radio or Fox News. They would wonder why we put up with this stuff.

    It was the right, after all, who gave us hate radio, Swiftboating, the smear machine, Rovean politics, and dirty tricks. They own the patent on inciting their fellow Americans to violence.

    The irony is that–after 30-some years of right-wing sewage flowing everywhere–there are more Democrats than ever. That’s why the air is filled with the right’s plangent cries of pain:

    Rupert Murdoch in Pain


  139. vinylspear says:

    I am just a tad miffed over the use of FSM representing “Family Security Matters”.

    FSM stands for “Flying Spaghetti Monster”

    Get it straight and don’t let happen again.

    Dam trolls can’t even get acronyms correct!


  140. vinylspear says:

    American patriot: 28 posts on a 156 count thread?

    You need your own board, you cannot possibly achieve contentment here.


  141. KayInMaine says:

    Who wants to bet that the anti-immigrants are the same people who have blogs and make up their own facts to support their hate? I bet!


  142. Levi the Dungbeetle says:

    For the fascist Republican Party, hatred is used as a tool to bring the base closer together. Nazi Germany did the same thing with their hatred of Jews, but Republicans have raised hatred to an artform.

    Republicans hate virtually any group that they see as different from themselves. They are even willing to adopt new groups to hate as political necessity dictates.

    It is this hatred that makes the Republican Party so incredibly dangerous, because it incites violence. When a wingnut troll like AP posts hateful comments, it fans the flames of violence.

    AP is quite literally inciting violence, which is a crime, and he should not be allowed to post such inflammatory racist rhetoric anywhere online. Fascist Republicans like AP belong in prison.


  143. RantingTommy says:

    TP needs to ban AP ASAP


  144. johnny dol1ar says:

    157 vinylspear

    Not his own board. More like his own barn / ward / medical research staff.

    Several of you TP regulars have seen him posting the dumbest things.

    Even though he performs his horse milking activities in Central California, Jeffy actually believes the terrorists, you know, Muslims wielding 3 meter long “machetes” will show up at his doorstep.

    He has admitted to own several AK-47’s, of course, just for protection since he is “exercising his second amendment rights.”

    “This is America. People would like to keep it that way.”

    Because he has shown his racist core before, last night he wet himself thinking about Hispanics and did not include Blacks.

    But he didn’t miss a step from Dear Leader Dr. Weiners. Jeffy Bovine blamed Blacks for the Katrina Hurricane disaster and again, true to his form, included rants about Rev. Jeremiah Wright, ACORN, and got his diarrhea panic posting references to crimes committed by Blacks all over the country. He has suggested then nominee Sen. Barack Obama should be waterboarded to reveal the truth about his birth place.

    And Bovine thinks Moose Boogers is smart.


  145. angels81 says:

    I agree with RantingTommy, most political blogs I go to would have put AP in moderation and then if he/she continued would have banned he/she. Those kinds of blantant racist rants have no place on a progressive site.


  146. Levi the Dungbeetle says:

    Banning AP only treats a symptom, the disease goes merrily on.


  147. angels81 says:

    Levi, thats true, but let the disease go somewhere else. The freeper sites will gladly take him/her.


  148. johnny dol1ar says:

    163 angels81

    Jeffy Bovine has been banned several times from News Hounds.

    His stupidity can be spotted one mile away, but he kept returning looking for more humiliation.

    That is another of his traits. He gets off getting humiliated, then goes crying to his usual munching grounds, whining about them nasty LBRULS.

    Bovine also bragged about trolling TP but he didn’t want to “blow his cover.” What a pathetic shit head.

  150. Levi the Dungbeetle says:

    When progressives overthrew the dominance of the fascist Republican Party, it would have been normal for the progressive movement to have lost some of its enthusiasm.

    Fortunately, I don’t see it happening in this case. The fascist Republican Party carries on with its motus operandi, as though it was still in the majority. This wingnut “disease” wasn’t cured by the last two elections and it won’t be cured by banning wingnuts from posting.

    Progressives still have an uphill battle to fight. We are fighting one of the most immoral and evil political organizations to ever blight the American political landscape. If we are going to cure this disease, we will need to enforce our existing laws regarding the incitement of violence and put these criminal propagandists behind bars.

    Ironic that he would choose to exercise his 2nd Amendment Rights by buying, not one, but several Russian-made weapons. How American is that?


  152. winddancer says:

    I’m surprised no one mentioned Lou Dobb’s vitriol over the last couple of years.


  153. dietrich says:

    Since American Bigot isn’t credible enough to tell us who Family Securiy Matters is…I checked it. One of their “star” writers is Machael Milikin. Nuff said. Personally, I don’t want to ban the nitwit, I think he’s close to getting a visit from the FBI or Secret Service.
    Wonder if this is the guy at Newshounds that went by “Vinny?”
    tony and lido


  154. johnny dol1ar says:

    Not Vinny Pee.

    olby sucks, but later he resorted to multiple suck puppets.

    Jeffy Bovine is still olby sucks at Crapper 1 and Crapper 2 along with the rest of sore losers in exile.
