"On the March 27 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh stated that Mexican immigrants who illegally enter the United States are "a renegade, potential[ly] criminal element" that is "unwilling to work."

If you call people, as a class, unwilling to work, and renegade and potentially criminal- you are fomenting hate against that class. There are people in this country who are more than ready to jump on any paranoia bandwagon that rolls by- and people like Rush feed that fear. Since undocumented immigrants come here precisely because they want to work- and we know they do work- it's not only fomenting hate to say they are "unwilling to work"- it's also untrue.

I wonder where that kind of lying rabble rousing goes? I guess it goes to raising the hate crimes against Hispanics.
