A lot of this angst is a culmination of many factors. First off the guy is a grizzled war vet, therefore inherently sensitive about this sort of thing. Second, Mexican arrogance is taking its toll on their own cause. Mexicans and their whole "La Raza" attitude preaches that a section of America belongs to them.
Everyone used to think that illegal immigration was just a California problem, then predominantly Spanish speaking communities started springing up in the heartland and even up into New England. Then we have federal judges who grant rights and privileges to illegals on the taxpayer dime. This isn't exactly softening people up to the concept of taking these people in with open arms.
I'l leave at that as I don't want to derail the thread, but given all these factors, you're going to get more expressions of backlash from more of middle America such as this and potentially more violent. Somehow I don't believe that a majority of Americans would find much fault with what this man did.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
The alleged purpose of antitrust laws was to protect competition; that purpose was based on the socialistic fallacy that a free, unregulated market will inevitably lead to the establishment of coercive monopolies. But, in fact, no coercive monopoly has ever been or ever can be established by means of free trade on a free market. Every coercive monopoly was created by government intervention into the economy, by special privileges which closed the entry of competitors in a given field, by legislative action. ~Ayn Rand
