MInuteman Nazi/skinhead ties thread

[markus]

I could swear I saw it here but can't turn it up in search. The Minutemen are getting lots of free press in North DAkota today calling for volunteers, and I want to push a fax out to some of the major dailies asking when they will be reporting on their ties to the NeoNazi and skinhead movements.

Can anybody help me with a link to anywhere that documents this?

2. Neo-Nazis showed up at a Minuteman/SOS rally in California...

The lady from SOS who organized the rally, who is Jewish, left in disgust.

If there are ties, they are not at an organizational level. Certainly, both organizations are anti-immigrant, and thus may pull from the same crowd, but there's no actual organizational ties between the two. At least, nothing has come up so far...

On edit: for the record, I'm pretty strongly against illegal immigration myself. Yes, illegal aliens take jobs that most of us don't want, but they take them for incredibly low wages, which drives down average wages for everyone. Construction is a perfect example.
As a result, we get cheaper, weaker labor, which is exactly what the GOP wants -- IMHO, almost everything they do leads to the goal of cheap labor.
The problem is that we are punishing the illegals. We should be punishing the people who hire them. There should be a law, maybe a $10,000 fine for every illegal hired.
