The most vocal opponents of any and all immigration law enforcement are not at all ashamed of viewing the immigration scofflaw problem explicitly in racial terms.

Consider the January 30 news bulletin from La Voz de Aztlan – Immigration Crisis: Preparations for the Mexicano/Latino Leadership Summit being finalized – in which "Summit facilitator” Professor Armando Navarro was quoted as saying:

“. . . the challenge facing all of us as Mexicanos and Latinos, especially our organizations, leaders, politicians, and activists is to set aside whatever differences we may have with each other and unite under the banner of solidarity in defense of our people, especially migrants, in order to defeat the Sensenbrenner legislation [H.R. 4437] and realize major immigration reform.”

Mexican racial consciousness alert! Jared Taylor, call your office!

I’m not surprised. Professor Navarro sounds a lot like some of my hate e-mailers.

As the proprietor of Deportaliens.com, the negative e-mails I receive generally fall into the same two categories: 1) shock over any immigration law enforcement; 2) outright Mexican racism/separatism.

Most hate letters say either

• how could you be so mean as to want to have anyone deported from the United States;

or

• We Mexicans will get you for this!
