L.A. Times newsflash: the citizens are angry about illegal immigration

The Los Angeles Times reports in "Anger Boils at Illegal Immigrants" about a meeting held Thursday of last week at Pico and LaCienega sponsored by Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson and the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny. The confab was called "Blacks and Hispanics: Allies or Rivals?" The L.A. Times is now free to report that non-PC thoughts were thought, and non-PC statements were voiced. Oh, the horror! The audience of 80 was split between whites, blacks, and Latinos. On the same apparent side as the LAT was Councilman Bernard C. Parks. The subtitle of the LAT piece is "...Calls for tolerance draw jeers." Parks apparently urged the "tolerance", which is apparently a euphemism for "let employers of illegal aliens take advantage of you while I help":
...Terry Anderson, a radio host who has long opposed illegal immigration, was one of several panel members who blamed illegal immigrants for, in their opinion, stealing jobs from blacks and crowding schools and neighborhoods to unbearable limits.

"We have been invaded; there's no other word for it," Anderson said.

The audience clapped and cheered.

Debbie Hernandez, a white member of the audience, said: "Blacks are losing their middle-class status because of illegal aliens. I am willing to go to the streets with my brothers and sisters over this."

Sherrie Johnson, a resident of Torrance, told Parks, "You aren't taking a stand for the right side of the argument.

"I believe the purpose of going through the steps to become a citizen is because it protects the country," she said...
The article also attempts to cover up Antonio Villaraigosa's past. That's covered in the next post.

Blaming others for their problems, heckling those who express an opinon other than theirs, spewing propaganda, even blaming illegal immigrants for causing children to drop out of school, scoffs and jeers, and total disregard for reality. This sounds like your typical meeting of paranoid radical anti-immigration fanatics.

Non-"liberal" coverage of immigration, Iraq, terrorism, multiculturalism, Los Angeles, California, privacy, and occasionally celebrities and wacky humor...
