Freedom Folks has the scoop on open-borders zealots who attacked pro-immigration enforcement activists this weekend outside a bank that offers home loans to illegal immigrants.

Susana Findley, a Gary native whose parents were born in Mexico, said illegal immigrant workers arrived here for the same reason federation members’ ancestors arrived: To find work and a better life.

“But those racist immigrants forget about that,” said Findley, nodding toward the federation’s camp.

Several counterprotesters arrived earlier than the scheduled 10 a.m. federation protest, setting up shop at the corner of Calumet Avenue and Ridge Road.

When 63-year-old Chicago Minuteman member Rick Biesada arrived and pulled out his protest sign, he claimed that two counterprotesters yanked it from him. When he yanked it back, the men assaulted him, knocking him to the ground, he said.

The Lindenhurst, Ill., resident was treated by paramedics at the scene for a gash over his eye and dizziness, spending a few minutes inside an ambulance before returning to the protest.

“I wished he fell to the ground harder,” Findley said.

Will President Bush call these unhinged attackers “vigilantes”?

Of course not.
