The most racist and violent skinheads can be found right here in Arizona, according to a Mesa police detective who has spent more than 10 years undercover with them. snip

National Vanguard, Aryan Nations and the Vinlanders Social Club are just a few of the white supremacist groups growing in the Valley.

And Browning said they have one issue on their minds.

"Every meeting, every discussion, everything revolves around immigration," he said. "Every meeting has started off with someone spouting off something about stopping the dirty Mexicans, stopping the wave of browns, stopping it from happening."

2. This issue is about race,

it is not about economics. I wish more progressives would see that.

3. I think you are largely right

I mean there clearly is an economic side to this problem; but the economic side could be solved if it weren't for the racism. I am 100% against illegal immigration (dangerous for us, dangerous for them), but an obvious solution is simply too all 10 times the amount of legal immigration; we aren't running out of room.

But of course racists don't want more brown people around, and businesses don't want to pay real wages.

4. Its roots are racist

Yes there are negative economic results. No, if you complain about immigration you are not necessarily a racist.
