This just boggles the mind, is this guy for real?

BROWNSVILLE - On a quiet street in this bucolic berg, the hand-painted sign is fixed to a house. Beneath it an arrow points to the Hispanic family next door. The sign says:
WE MUST PROTECT OUR BORDERS.

I'll try and get the original story, but isn't this a code phrase for the freepers?

Travis wrote a letter to the editor saying this wasn't about racism but respect. "I am not a racist," he tells you in an interview. "I have Mexican friends, Puerto Rican friends, black friends. Some of my best friends are Mexicans."

Just amazing to me.

So does his 1st amendment right trump the victims right to not be harassed for their country of origin?

1. And he'll never admit that he's an asshole, either. Racists never do.

2. Yeah, that's a code phrase...

seems you generally hear it in the form of 'some of my best friends are Jews/blacks/Asian/other minority'--the unspoken subtext here usually seems to be 'but I don't want them living next door/joining my country club/going to school with my kids/thinking they're as good as white/Christian people'...(at least, that's what my general impression of people who say things like that is).

4. Well, Mr. Garcia is a better man then me,

Because I don't know if I could have been as polite about it as he seems to be.
Frankly, I would have put a boot up his behind...But I'm a hothead when it comes to my family.

11. Me too! And my mouth doesn't do me any favors either.

Mr. Garcia is a hell of a good man.

13. another code phrase: But I like him he's one of the "good" ones.

3. I'd like to get those "Friends" take on that.

Just to see if they shared the same view on the relationship with this fellow. Somehow I doubt they feel quite as close to him.

5. "Its not hate Its Heritage"

Bumper sticker frequently seen in southern red states.

6. I love this kind of Republican, they are so fun...

I mean, they are so nasty even humans get grossed out by them

7. Hows about Mr. Garcia puts up a similiar pointing sign that says:

"We must educate our children."

[DiverDave]

8. I can just imagine the freeptard response:

"I'm being HARASSED!"

and I LOVE the excuse he gives" I'm talking about OUR border"
Yet he pulls the fence down...this type of vermin just makes me want to hurl...

9. I saw one that said sex crime and an arrow in town

I drove by twice as I could not believe it in this small town. People will do any thing. And on both sides on the one in town I guess.

10. And

"Without checking with Garcia, Travis ripped out the fence between the two houses with a tow-chain from his pickup. And has threatened the Garcias with calling the Immigration and Naturalization Service. "I can tell by looking which ones are illegals."

Why would he rip out a fence....... the guy is crazy.

[DiverDave]

12. I've nominated this clown for the top 10 idiots

He should fit right in.

I'm also thinking of calling Mr. Garcia with words of support...this guy is living a nightmare IMO.
