QOTD: An American patriot
by digby
... or ignorant sociopath, you decide. This is William Gheen, head of the anti-immigrant group known as ALIPAC --- the group that exhorted its members to send used underwear to the border for the kids down there:
"Well, what the illegals that are coming and especially the ones that are coming from China are going to do to America are much more powerful and lasting impacts than anything Al Qaeda could blow up, short of a nuclear detonation."
"And how do you put a price tag on a family, lets say thats been in the United States for 300 years, and four or five different members of that family have gone off to World War II and Korea and maybe World War I to fight for the American way of life, and then finally they get to their grandson thats alive in the year 2020 who doesnt get to go to the college of their choice because invaders have been brought in the country and put in those seats ahead of him. That childs life, that negatively impacts that childs ability to self-actualize, to be all they can be, impacted because the future has been stolen by this usurpation, this treason, this treachery from the highest levels of our own government right here in the United States of America."
"Once they get enough people in here to get the boat really sinking, and then they get the borders destroyed and they start taking up all the guns and weve got wave after wave of future illegal immigrants just pouring in, pouring in, pouring in, the existing stock of Americans are going to be so politically and economically buried under this wave, that its a weapon from which we can never recover."

above claims could easily be arguments that Native American Indians could make with legitimacy with time as proof. That over zealous self absorbed asshole should just STFU.
