Group Asks Americans To Send Dirty Underwear To Undocumented Immigrants

One anti-immigrant group has started an Underwear for Illegals campaign that asks Americans to send dirty underwear to undocumented immigrants and top politicians in order to stop the new surge of illegal immigrants crossing Americas borders, enticed by promises of immigration reform amnesty.
In a message board thread posted on Wednesday, William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), wrote that Americans should mail more than 10,000 pairs of used underwear that range anywhere from gently used to those in bad shape to President Obama, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), and undocumented immigrants in detention facilities.
Obama and Boehner have proven once and for all that their talk of passing immigration reform amnesty, instead of enforcing Americas existing border and immigration laws, only brings more unwanted and destructive illegal immigration! said Gheen in his post. Instead of using our tax money to buy illegals 42,000 pairs of new underwear, we would like to send the illegals and DC politicians a message by mailing them our used underwear, and some of our pairs are in really bad shape due to the bad economy and all of the jobs illegal immigrants are taking from Americans.
Gheens message comes in response to a Department of Homeland Security bid solicitation to secure at least 42,000 pairs of underwear for undocumented immigrants put in detention facilities across the United States. The big clothing order comes at a time when the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency is quickly replenishing necessary resources like clothing and diapers to accomodate unaccompanied children streaming across the border.

We need to set up refugee camps and deal with the real problem of US backed wars and violence in South America.

I'm guessing this hate filled fool isn't aware of this fact.

(3,173 posts)If it is not properly packaged and labelled, prosecutions could result.
If I were a postmaster, or Fedex, UPS or others, I'd be only too happy to refer the senders to the appropriate authorities.

(19,564 posts)I know I wouldn't want to be exposed to someone's potentially diseased dirty underwear!
I wonder how states with Assault with Bodily Fluid laws will deal with this? I read once where Texas has such a law. Isn't Texas one of the states which is holding a large amount of the detainees this group is targeting?

(20,818 posts)keeping me from sending a bunch of smelly, dirty, disgusting underwear to their headquarters and urging others here to do the same. And these cruel, heartless fucks, who likely relax in air-conditioned comfort while the objects of their hate, many of them innocent children, suffer lives of physical and mental torment that they probably wouldn't be able to stand for one day, are the type to scream for charges to be filed even while they're doing the same thing.
