If you have brown skin and live near the Mexican border, you may be taking your life into your heads if you go out into the wild areas at night. Self-appointed posses that are out looking for illegal immigrants crossing the border seem to have taken it upon themselves to harass anyone with brown skin on the presumption that they can't be Real Americans.
Sojourners reported a couple of years ago:
Mexican Americans born and raised in the United States, [Jennifer Allen of the Tucson-based Border Action Network] says, “used to go out hunting or hiking, but they’ve been dragged out of their tents and harassed to such a degree that they don’t go out of the city anymore. And now these vigilantes are out there with the attitude that if you’re brown and out in the desert, you must be an undocumented migrant. So even the residents are in danger because the vigilante groups are bringing people in that are racist and hunting for anyone with brown skin.”
Border Action Network asserts that some militia members have openly consorted with out-of-state representatives of racist groups. One public meeting in May 2000 was attended not only by such local militia backers as Roger Barnett and Glenn Spencer, but also by two representatives from David Duke’s National Organization for European American Rights and members of an Arkansas Klan group.
“The United States and Mexico are two entirely different nations,” Spencer declares. “The United States has as its founders people who came here for intellectual reasons, freedom of religion. Mexico was founded by a group of people who came to plunder, the conquistadors.... We have a clash of civilizations: the pilgrims versus the conquistadors, the civilization based on Newton’s Principia Mathematica and the great philosophers of Europe versus the blood-and-sand character of Mexico, which is based on Aztec warriors and the conquistadors. We are asked to absorb millions of people from this culture; we are unable to assimilate them, so they are asking for their culture to be maintained here in ours. This is a direct threat to the Age of Reason, to the ascent of man, and will end in a massive conflict. It has to be stopped.”
When I wrote about this two years ago, I asked “Is this the direction that America is headed, banded of armed white militias hunting down people whose complexion is too dark?” As the so-called Minute Men become more powerful and popular, this particular direction appears to become more likely than ever. This path was being firmly laid out several years ago, but few people recognized what was happening. How much longer will President Bush and his administration continue to pander to the racists, extremists, and White Supremacists?

You mean, to the question of “How much longer will President Bush and his administration continue to pander to the racists, extremists, and White Supremacists?” I suppose that the answer is “for as long as it works in terms of creating more division, suspicion, diversion, and hatred which they can exploit.”
Looks like they can now patrol from the comfort of their own homes without even needing to go outside.
