NY Times: "Militia With Neo-Nazi Ties Patrols Arizona Desert"
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/18/us/18militia.html?_r=1&hp

"Minutemen groups, a surge in Border Patrol agents and a tough new immigration law are not enough for a reputed neo-Nazi who is now leading a militia in the Arizona desert.

But local law enforcement officials are worried, given that Mr. Ready’s group is heavily armed and identifies with the National Socialist Movement, an organization that believes that only non-Jewish, white heterosexual people should be American citizens and that everyone who is not white should leave the country — “peacefully or by force.”

But Mr. Ready, a 37-year-old ex-Marine, is different. He and his friends are outfitted with military fatigues, body armor and assault rifles. Mr. Ready takes offense at the term “neo-Nazi,” but admits he identifies with the National Socialist Movement. “If they don’t want my people out there, then there’s an easy way to send us home: secure the border,” he said. “We’ll put our guns back on the shelf, and that’ll be the end of that.”

“These are explicit Nazis,” said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project. “These are people who wear swastikas on their sleeves.”

From which party have we heard "Secure the border" as the mantra to scare voters into voting the "right" way and obscure the need for a comprehensive solution, while maintaining a large pool of exploitable workers who are already here? ;)

1. The obvious result of decades of failing to address the issue of immigration
Millions of people entering the country illegally is the political hot potato that no one wants to get caught holding.

The government needs to put a sane legally justified presence at the border or accept that insane radicals will do it for them.
