Have You Seen the Latest Immigrant Bashing from the Wingnuts?

[tishaLA]

Here is a picture allegedly taken during the May Day rallies:

The teabagger/wingnut crowd has been trying to pass this off as a terrible threat against the AZ police. But there's more: they allege that it was taken in Phoenix by an Phoenix policeman! Snopes has been on the case: http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=60180

The only problems? Well, the pic is pretty obviously photoshopped and the picture was taken about a block and a half from my apartment. In Los Angeles.

But don't worry. This is all they need to demonstrate how evil those "illegals" are.

1. All the more evil since the AZ cop was shot by an American.

"The killing of a Southern Arizona rancher that sparked an outcry to secure the border was not random, and investigators are focusing on an American suspect, the Arizona Daily Star has learned."


While we're on the topic though...

" By many measures, Arizona has become safer since illegal immigrants began pouring into the state in the 1990s.

Crime has dropped all across the country since then, but the decrease has been as fast or faster in Arizona.... That's no surprise to those who study immigration -- both sides, whether for or against increased immigration, agree that immigrants tend to commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans. <...>

What most in law enforcement here do agree on is that the victims of crime by illegal immigrants tend to be other immigrants. Community activists argue that the new law will make it worse for law-abiding immigrants because few immigrants, whether documented or not, will want to deal with police. "


So much for the "white folks aren't racist, they're just scared" lie. Can't wait to see what lie white Arizonans come up with next.

2. Dark hair, dark eyes and olive skin...

...and the asshole is carrying a sign putting down Mexicans?

GMAFB......:puke:

With the new AZ immigration law, he could be stopped and held just because of his looks.

What an idiot...

3. Could be any nationality but..

The halted that has been unleashed towards so many segments of our society by the wingers is truly disgusting.

6. The hilarious thing is that Latinos can look like just about anyone.

We carry DNA from Asia, Europe and Africa. So the whole idea of racially profiling people who look brown with dark hair and eyes is already stupid.

8. I'm Portuguese

and have been taken for every other olive complexion, dark eyes, hair ethnic group Greek, Jewish, Italian, Spanish, Puerto Rican and any country between central and South America. :shrug:

Someday just for shits and giggles I'll say I'm Irish/Dane :evilgrin:
