Well, Bundy just screwed his chances for any more militia or far right support

Bundy Has A Surprisingly Nice Take On Undocumented Immigrants

<snip>

"Now let me talk about the Spanish people," Bundy said in a new video unearthed by New York magazine, right after he concluded his thoughts on "the Negro."

"I understand that they come over here against our Constitution and cross our borders," he says. "But they're here and they're people. I worked side-by-side a lot of them. Don't tell me they don't work, and don't tell me they don't pay taxes. And don't tell me they don't have better family structures than most of us white people."

"When you see those Mexican families, they're together. They picnic together. They're spending their time together," he said. "I'll tell you, in my way of thinking, they're awful nice people. We need to have those people join us and be with us."

The militias and the wingnuts DESPISE Mexicans, so now he's climbed out on that limb all by himself.

Since all he has to do after their hard day's work is tell them to leave or he's calling immigration.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's pulled that sort of game more than once since he's a proven thieving moocher any way.

No, wait I don't think I can.

He likes Mexicans because the come here on their own and they are together. What is his problem with black people again?

I doubt he has ever been near any blacks to even know one, just what he has seen on FOX.

Make my head hurt.

he supports respecting Hispanics but thinks that slavery for African-Americans was somehow good for them.

coalition. They know black folks don't give a shit about their white racist militia asses, so I think they've calculated that if they play one minority group against the other, they can create an opening for themselves. It's cynical as hell, but it could just work.

He doesn't recognize the federal government, so there are no immigration laws as far as he is concerned.

The militia members who showed up at this confrontation are mostly racist idiots who watch Fox News. The fact that Bundy is a racist will not matter to these idiots. The only thing that would affect turnout would be if Fox News refused to film their gatherings and actions.
