Anti-"gringo" animosity on Piolin's illegal immigration bus tour

Radio host Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo recently traveled in a bus caravan across the U.S. in support of immigration "reform", aka a massive amnesty for illegal aliens. It culminated in he and Teddy Kennedy falsely claiming that boxes contained a million letters in support of their efforts, when in fact the boxes were empty. A few days later, Teddy Kennedy broke into song.

Someone named Tim Paynter and claiming to be a lawyer from Wheat Ridge, Colorado apparently tried to join the caravan and was subjected to anti-"Gringo" animosity and was suspected of being an infiltrator. I don't know whether he's a completely sincere useful idiot or whether he was indeed there to make them look bad, but he did make them look bad in any case. A Hispanic newspaper wrote the following account:

The national Reporter had the opportunity to know Tim, "a man dedicated to his profession and mainly to serve the Latin community", expressed Doctor Antonio Flores, publisher of this newspaper. "many Hispanic people have come into our offices to complain about the abuse against them or their relatives because of the simple fact of being undocumented". "We have sent these people to Tim so that he can help them in their immigration problems or offer direction to them", indicated to doctor Flores.

The national Reporter, roundly denies that Mr. Paynter has some type of relation with the organization of the "Minuteman".

In spite of his color, of his race, Paynter strongly supports immigration reform for all those who, with great sacrifice, manage to arrive in this "land of opportunities".

But, in spite of his activism with the Latin community, Tim also has felt discrimination in his hands. Recently, after joining the caravan organized by the radio personality Eduardo 'Piolin' Sotelo, the lawyer was accused and presumed a member of the "Minuteman", and was expelled from the march to Washington, with the allegation Tim had infiltrated the caravan to give integral details to anti immigrant groups...

If you have a strong stomach and you'd like a disturbing tour inside the mind of a useful idiot - or if you're interested in hearing about his experiences with Piolin and his friends - read that and the other entries.
