Videos of Zack de la Rocha's Speech, and Neo-Nazis and Nativists Supporting Joe Arpaio

If you only read the coverage of Saturday's anti-Arpaio march in Phoenix's paper of record, and/or watched it on our local news channels, you wouldn't know that neo-Nazis were present in the nativist camp supporting Sheriff Joe. Nor would you know that at the end of the march, Rage Against the Machine/One Day as a Lion frontman Zack de la Rocha read a letter from immigrant mothers in Estrella Jail detailing the abuses they are undergoing at the hands of Joe's guards.

Both omissions are unforgivable. To ignore the content of De la Rocha's speech at the end of the march is to miss the point of the event itself. And to don blinders when it comes to neo-Nazis openly commingling with nativist groups is a sickening whitewash. The support Joe receives from these extremists is a crucial factor in the ongoing battle over immigration in this state. Indeed, it shows you just how the lines are drawn, and who is on each side.
