Retired utility worker Charles Warren worries his quality of life is slipping and says that illegal immigrants are to blame.

The 55-year-old retiree complains about day laborers waiting for work outside the nearby Home Depot, saying they give his neighborhood “a Third World look.”

“Ten or 15 years ago, the neighborhood wasn’t like this,” Warren said. “The states are overpopulated, there is oversprawl, and immigration is contributing to this.”

After seeing a television commercial that blamed many of California’s woes on illegal immigrants, Warren immediately donated $50 to the sponsoring group, Californians for Population Stabilization.

And he’s not the only one. Since the Santa Barbara-based group aired the commercials, it has collected thousands of membership applications.

Other anti-illegal-immigrant groups have watched their rolls and coffers swell, from California to New York. Most of the organizations are small affairs, started by one or two people, such as California Coalition for Immigration Reform or Save Our State.

Other groups, such as CAPS or Numbers USA, which center on population control, provide statistical data and research-oriented services.

But anti-illegal-immigrant groups say growing interest is a wider backlash against pro-immigrant street protests that swept the country last spring and frustration with federal officials whose immigration-reform bill has stalled.

Critics warn that the upsurge in activity - also being replicated among pro-immigrant groups - is evidence of a growing anti-illegal-immigrant sentiment sweeping the United States.

They say the rhetoric used by those border restrictionists, such as the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps and CAPS, teeters on alarmism rather than focusing on the country’s broken border system. And, they fear, it is dangerously fanning the flames of hate.

“We are in the midst of an anti-immigrant wave that periodically affects California, whether it be the 1880s with the anti-Chinese immigrant stance, the 1950s with Operation ******* or in the 1970s in California when we used to see headlines with thousands of aliens crossing into California all the time,” said Harry Pachon, president of the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute, a think tank that focuses on Latino issues.

One group, the Arizona-based Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, a civilian volunteer group patrolling the border, says it has collected $600,000 for a proposed border fence.

The American Border Patrol, another civilian group that turns immigrants crossing the U.S. Mexican border over to authorities and is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, says donations are up 25 percent.

And in San Diego, a newly formed Minuteman group went from just two members late last year to 200 today.

“People are joining us so fast because they are frustrated with our government,” said Jeff Schwilk, the group’s founder. “They see all the wrangling, all the political posturing, and I think people are fed up with the inaction of their government.”

Answer 1

Some people are intent on destroying America by any means necessary.

Illegal immigration is crushing middle America (well this and other things) yet a person is labelled a "racist" if they express concern.

Answer 2

They are just not growing quickly enough! The govt. is forcing this reaction from middle-class Americans who, as a rule, have never joined together to fight anything other than an attack on America! Finally we are realizing this is the most important attack on America that we will ever face. Unfortunately, we must also fight our government who has forsaken us! We are a nation of immigrants but not ILLEGAL immigrants. Why isn't our govt. threatening sanctions against mexico if they don't do their part to stop the INVASION of our country? Money talks - but sadly our govt is using our tax dollars to talk AGAINST Americans for a bunch of third world country criminals! You have to wonder why all of these groups don't join together for one unified voice.

Answer 3

I think that all these groups should join together and maybe they will truly be effective. We need to protect our country, and fix our ill internally, than maybe we can open the borders again.

Answer 4

The next, best one, will be the NAACP as they will have to stop them from taking the Anglo nipples out of their mouths to feed the Mex.
There ant but so much liberal milk to go around.
