"Social strain':

It isn't surprising that the KKK and similar groups are taking on the immigration issue as a way to expand membership, said SPLC spokesman Mark Potok. "In times of social strain these groups tend to do well, and this is a time of real strain," he said. "Many of these groups feel the immigration issue is going to put them in the mainstream."

At least one candidate, Larry Darby, who is running for Alabama attorney general, has picked up the issue. Darby proposes to declare martial law and mobilize national guardsmen to seal the state's borders for a period to stop the flow of illegal immigrants. Then what Darby calls "Mexican invaders" would be rounded up by sheriff's deputies, constables, and others who would be deputized. The illegal immigrants should be treated like prisoners of war and put in tent cities until they could be taken back to Mexico, he said. If they try to resist or escape, Darby said, "then they should be shot. This is war."

The Alabama Democratic Party investigated what action it could take against Darby because of his remarks, which party executive director Joe Turnham said were unacceptable. The party announced Friday it was too late to take him off the ballot.

"I am a little concerned. I have seen some escalation that is a little unnerving," Turnham said. "When people make hateful remarks, it can incite people to violence, and that's not the way we solve our problems."

Whoever the message is coming from, it sounds the same to many Hispanics, Lankford said.

"All they hear out of it is a message we don't want you here," he said.

2. Nah, it's just Larry Darby gone mad

Really, I think he's having a mental breakdown. I've met this man, had lunch with him. I saw no evidence of this extreme prejudice.
