The Consequences of Anti-Immigration Reform?

HATE CRIMES AGAINST HISPANICS?

Our dear anti-immigration conservatives tell us there are absolutely no hate or bias crimes against Hispanics and when someone like Lindsey Graham exposes them for what they are, they attempt to crucify him. (I'm not linking, just scroll through this blog). The Immigration Prof Blog is exposing this canard.

"...According to the report, in 2006, Hispanics comprised 62.8% of victims of crimes motivated by a bias toward the victims’ ethnicity or national origin. In 2004, the comparable figure was 51.5%. Since 2004, the number of victims of anti-Hispanic crimes increased by 25%.
The Mexican-Ameican Legal Defense & Educational Fund (MALDEF) issued a press relaease about th hate crimes report. “Anti-immigrant hatred heard on the radio and cable shows reaches America’s neighborhoods with real consequences,” stated MALDEF President and General Counsel John Trasviña. “Heightened anti-immigrant sentiment has blocked immigration reform and seeks to turn local police into immigration law enforcers thus making it more difficult for victims to report crimes. The FBI report should serve as a wake up call to our nation’s leaders to take action on comprehensive immigration reform, reduce tensions and safeguard the basic civil rights and liberties of all Americans.”
The report goes on to demonstrate the steady growth of anti-Hispanic hate crimes after 2004.
2006: 576 anti-Hispanic crimes against 819 victims
2005: 522 anti-Hispanic crimes against 722 victims
2004: 475 anti-Hispanic crimes against 646 victims
2003: 426 anti-Hispanic crimes against 595 victims
2002: 480 anti-Hispanic crimes against 639 victims..."

FBI HATE CRIME STUDIES
Fortunately, our anti-immigration conservatives worship the FBI.
