ORIGINAL: popeye1250 Lol, I looked on the SPLC's "HATE MAP" for Massachusetts and there was a group there, "concerned citizens for illegal immigration" or something like that, in the next column they have them listed as "Anti-Immigrant." Are they saying that those people have been contacting their Reps and Senators to reduce the overall numbers of immigration? And if so, what in the world is wrong with that? I don't know *anyone* who is,..."anti-immigrant." I know a lot of Irish immigrants in Mass who I've stayed in touch with over the years and they've never mentioned any anti-immigrant groups giving them any trouble. One of them just got her nursing degree and lives in Quincy, Mass a city south of Boston with a large Irish immigrant population. And there's a fairly significant Irish immigrant population in S. N.H. and there's never been any anti-immigrant problems there either. Perhaps the "SPLC" needs to send out some reps to talk to those people before flying off the handle. http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/news/x1959827804/Southern-Poverty-Law-Center-adds-CCFIILE-from-Framingham-to-hate-group-list ...Concerned Citizens and Friends of Illegal Immigration Law Enforcement in Framingham, run by brothers Jim and Joe Rizoli, is new to the list. The Rizoli brothers are no strangers to Southern Poverty Law Center, having been profiled by the Intelligence Report last year for their efforts to fight illegal immigration. The group's report accused the brothers of being racist toward Brazilians. CCFIILE has held rallies in town to protest document fraud and has blamed illegal immigrants for some of the town's problems. The law center criticized the brothers for what it viewed as their support of a Holocaust denier. The Rizoli brothers also produce a weekly cable TV show called "Illegal Immigration Chat." "From the first time we started to look at them, they looked like a clearly racist group," said Mark Potok, editor of the Intelligence Report, a quarterly publication from the law center. "The things these brothers say about Brazilians and Brazilian women is hateful." Potok said a hate group is one that "in its platforms or statements says that a whole other group of people is less by virtue....These are people who attack other groups of people based on their group characteristics."

And ah,....."being "racist" towards Brazilians?" What did they do start a flash mob conga line around them? Did they go down to Rio and pull their hi-jinks? And it's a surprise to me but just when did "Brazillians" become another "race?"
