A rally organized by the Ku Klux Klan attracted over 300 supporters and counter-demonstrators in Alabama on Saturday, according to a breaking story at the Website for The Birmingham News.

"No violence or arrests were reported during the hour and a half march and rally as about 30 police and sheriff's deputies watched," the Alabama newspaper reports.

The event began with about a 10-minute march by 50 people, including about a dozen robed klansmen, to the front of the Franklin County Courthouse for the rally. Franklin County, with a population of about 31,000, has seen a growth in its Hispanic population in recent years. Hispanics now make up more than 7 percent of the population, nearly double the percentage of blacks living in the county, according to 2004 census figures.

At the rally, marchers yelled anti-immigration slogans such as "Send them back." One robed woman held a sign saying "Remember the Alamo, Stop Invasion Now, Save America."

Ray Larsen, imperial wizard of the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan from South Bend, Ind., told the crowd on a megaphone that illegal immigrants are in America to take jobs. "They want to take all jobs," he said.

men playing dress-up

and the women who sew the robes for them

are a sorry lot

did they head to the lettuce fields to do the jobs that immigrants are "taking away?" Klansmen securing the republican base and spreading the party message in Bama! Roll Tide!

nt

nor a window to throw it out of.

Kidding.

After decades of declining membership, the KKK's numbers drastically shot up during the Great Depression when KKK leaders blamed black people for taking the jobs.

Same shit, different decade.

Trying to ILLEGALLY stay on Mexican soil and break their laws?

These people are IDIOTS.

I think times are changing.

and fucking their sisters. :D

Pay some migrant workers to join them! You won't be able to tell they're Mexicans under the sheets! :D

saying that we are ignorant because we don't know who is setting up our events, and comparing us to socialists because they are against the war and for workers?

Well, if we are socialists, thats fine with me.

I'd rather be a socialist than a Klansman....

That is soooo 19th century.
The illegal immigration situation is no worse today than it was 5, 10, 20, 30 years ago. Suddenly the people who work for shit wages, no benefits in crappy working conditions, the ones who wash your floors and cook for your kids...are NOW a big threat to American life?
Right!
This is just another wedge issue thrown out there by the neocons to further divide this country and get a knee-jerk reaction from the racist and ignorant sector of the GOP voting base in an election year.

Not American. Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett, etc. were nothing but squatting "Illegals" trying to break Mexican laws by practicing slavery, etc. What a bunch of nasty immigrants. Why the hell couldn't the United States government give them jobs? Why did they have a right to go to Mexico and greedily take land and expect to be treated liek everyone else? Then, they flew their OWN flag. OMFG. Dirty gringos....

Yup... REMEMBER THE ALAMO..... but nit in the way they think.

I wonder how many there are descended from immigrants? Probably all of them.

bring out the best in our culture, eh?

Immigration, rape, etc.

Sometimes it's like kicking over a rock...

Makes ya wonder, hmmm?
