What else do you need to hear? Spencer got involved in the anti-immigration movement in , when he formed Voice of Citizens Together, also known as American Patrol , in California. In , saying the battle was lost in that state, he moved to the "front lines" of the Arizona border, where he formed American Border Patrol.
He was one of the first to call for border citizens' patrols and pioneered the use of surveillance technology. He also was one of the first well-known anti-immigration activists to more or less openly court white supremacists and anti-Semites. He has attended conferences of American Renaissance magazine, which specializes in racist theories about blacks and others.
He interviewed the magazine's editor, Jared Taylor , on his syndicated radio show. Another guest was California State Professor Kevin MacDonald , who is the architect of an elaborate anti-Semitic theory dressed up as evolutionary biology.
The booklet is a "relentlessly factual" study that alleges that blacks and Hispanics are far more likely than whites to be criminals. It also falsely alleges people of color commit vastly more hate crimes than others. Sometimes, Spencer's racial paranoia seems to get the better of him. One night in , thinking he was hearing noises outside his Sierra Vista, Ariz.
He managed to hit a neighbor's garage, among other things, and was charged with four felonies. But charges like that have a habit of going away in Southeastern Arizona. In Spencer's case, his felony charges were reduced to one misdemeanor.
His lease was also terminated and he was forced to move away, taking up residence in a trailer in unincorporated Cochise County. As the face of the anti-immigration movement in Congress, Colorado Republican Tom Tancredo has enraged countless members of his own party. In , presidential advisor Karl Rove, angered at Tancredo's attacks on President Bush's approach to immigration, told him "never to darken the door of the White House again.
More recently still, Tancredo endorsed three primary challengers to his Republican House colleagues and even, in California, a Democratic candidate. None of this seems to bother the man who started the hard-line Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus in In fact, he has gone from what many consider one outrageous action to another. Campaigning for a Senate candidate in Illinois, he warned that illegal immigrants are "coming here to kill you and to kill me and our families.
In a discussion with a radio talk show host last July, he suggested that the United States should "take out" Mecca and other Islamic holy sites if the country is hit by a major terrorist attack launched by Muslims. Because of his outrageous rhetoric and hard-line views, Tancredo is seen in heroic terms in the anti-immigration world.
Barbara Coe , who heads one hate group and belongs to another, says Tancredo is a "gold-plated, card-carrying patriot. Tancredo received a hero's welcome when he keynoted at an anti-immigration conference attended by activists last Memorial Day weekend.
Tancredo often doesn't sound much different than the activists who spread fears about a supposed secret Mexican plot to reconquer the Southwest. It's a government-sponsored thing. Joe Turner's been angry about immigration since childhood.
Eleven years ago, he stood in his high school cafeteria giving an impassioned speech in favor of Proposition , a California ballot initiative denying illegal immigrants access to public school and hospitals that was later found to be unconstitutional. Turner only sounded more radical late this year, when he demanded the city of San Bernardino pass a law to close day laborer centers, seize the cars of those who hire illegal day laborers, fine businesses that hire them, prohibit renting to illegal immigrants, and require that all city business be transacted in English.
In December , Turner started his own anti-immigration group, Save Our State, and the group has swelled to the point where its Web forum now has more than 1, members.
He calls this his "transference of pain" strategy. Turner's Baldwin protests were held to demand that the city remove this "seditious" language on a monument: "This land was Mexican once, Indian always, and is and will be again.
An unusual feature of Turner's rallies has been the regularity with which they attract neo-Nazis and racist Skinheads clad in black boots with red laces. Some of what appears in Turner's Web forum doesn't sound much different than propaganda from neo-Nazis. Turner, who was charged with battery in December after a confrontation with an antiracist protester, does delete posts advocating violence and has even banned a white supremacist or two.
But in the same breath, he has publicly complained that he is "sick and tired of multiculturalism" and "white-bashing. Be that as it may, the year-old stay-at-home dad apparently has decided he's found his calling in the anti-immigration movement. After spending parts of October patrolling the border in New Mexico, Mike Vanderboegh and the two or three others who made up his Alabama Minuteman Support Team decided they'd had enough.
Despite the presence of an alluring array of military toys -- "night vision devices, global positioning systems, portable seismic intrusion detectors and ham radios" -- the men, all once associated with the militia movement of the s, decided to call it quits. Apparently, their citizens' patrol, aimed at keeping illegals out of America, proved less than thrilling. As of Nov. Because we're fixin' to flip on the light switch.
Vanderboegh denied any suggestion of vigilantism, telling The Birmingham Ala. News that all his group sought was enforcement of existing laws. He had similarly shrugged off criticism of the paramilitarism of the militias back when he was associated with groups including the Alabama Constitutional Militia, the Tri-States Militia and the 1st Alabama Cavalry Regiment, Constitutional Militia.
Along with New Mexico Minuteman Bob Wright, Vanderboegh in was among militia leaders from 19 states who signed a declaration distancing the militia movement from racists and neo-Nazis. Vanderboegh has consistently portrayed himself as a moderate, first in the militia world and now in the anti-immigration movement. But he hasn't always sounded that way. Back in the mids, he wrote a document entitled "Strategy and Tactics for a Militia Civil War" in which he discussed the utility of snipers using "violence carefully targeted and clearly defensive: war criminals, secret policemen, rats Pitcavage take note.
He is currently the fact-finding director of the antiracist Anti-Defamation League. Not many people are aware that Idaho is under assault by waves of illegal Mexican immigrants.
Vasquez has demanded that the governor of Idaho declare a state of emergency to stem the Mexican "invasion. He has even attacked his fellow Republicans, accusing them of serving illegals better than American citizens. You might think that would pretty much rule out Vasquez's future on a larger political stage. But he doesn't. In fact, he says he's running for Congress even as he considers a campaign for governor of Idaho.
His message? Illegals bring disease and crime, lower wages all round, and threaten American national security. The grandson of Mexican immigrants and a Vietnam War veteran, Vasquez hotly rejects the idea of being "a hyphenated American.
Vasquez is a former newspaper columnist who long specialized in arguing that English should be the country's official language. Another favorite target was "liberals," people Vasquez sees as pathetic weaklings. But don't worry. Your friends and neighbors are paying the price.
