“ATLANTA (Reuters) - The white supremacist Ku Klux Klan is on the rise in the United States and is exploiting the issue of illegal immigration to attract new members, according to a new report by the Anti-Defamation League.”
“It has expanded in parts of the country including the Great Plains and the West Coast where it used to be inactive.”

“TUCSON, Ariz. - Gunmen stopped a pickup truck full of illegal immigrants, shot some and took the rest captive Thursday in an attack that left at least three people dead and two wounded, authorities said.”
Officials have not determined who the gunmen were but believe at least two of the immigrants were Guatemalan. They believe that the driver, who was probably a smuggler, escaped along with a guide.“The men are believed to have shot five people, three fatally, along a known smuggling corridor near Tucson, and forced several others in the group of nine or 10 immigrants to leave with them, Pima County sheriff’s officials said. The victims are believed to be two men and a 15-year-old girl.”
“The immigrants were heading north when four men armed with assault rifles in another vehicle forced the truck to stop, Kastigar said. During the confrontation, one man suffered a fatal wound, another was shot in the hand — losing several fingers — and a woman was shot in the chest and suffered a neck injury.”

Posted by pnorth on Feb 12, 2007 at 9:07 PM I don’t know if my cynicism cup runneth over, I believe the government has found another way to make money off of people’s misery. And they have willing bedfellows in the private prison industry, a favorite of the Republican machine. This is truly abhorrent. .
We need new leadership in this country in the worst way. Hateful mean-spirited attitudes toward any bit of humanity in this country has permiated our citenzry and is coming from the top down, Bush/Cheney, Inc. I don’t know if we will last another 24 months with the “un-leadership” we are stuck with!!! How cruel can people get?? As Obama has said, there is a new generation coming, and he wants to lead it. I think I’m on board. How much worse can things get here?
