Gus > Mr. Juergensmeyer said the DEA report linking terrorist organizations in the United States to Mexican drug cartels displays a new evolution in terrorist tactics and poses a serious concern in the area of security. "In some ways, that's even more frightening to think that drug-trafficking organizations in Mexico may adopt some jihadist ideology," he said. "If it's an ideology being adopted by a drug culture then that makes this situation very dangerous." Hard to imagine how drug traffickers adopt a Jihadist ideology but one has to leave it to the Zionists to invent such a link. So, if they are not "defending little Israel" your Judeofascists are promoting their own security businesses in the US. Thus they kill two imaginary birds with one stone, get well paid for it and don't have to break any laws. > TOLD YOU SO Yes and no. You mentioned the red-neck vigilantes and not the link to "Jihadists", which clearly points to a primary anti-Muslim motivation rather than racist. There has to be a vested interest behind such a devious tactic especially when one considers that Hispanics are Catholics.

Nation's changing face emerges in new Census Bureau report -- By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER seattletimes.nwsource.com >>WASHINGTON — Non-Hispanic whites are in the minority in nearly one in every 10 U.S. counties. The increased diversity, fueled by immigration and higher birthrates among blacks and Hispanics, is sparking a backlash against immigrants in many communities. "There's some culture shock," said Mark Mather of the Population Reference Bureau, a Washington research agency. "But I think there is a momentum building, and it is going to continue." As of 2006, non-Hispanic whites made up less than half the population in 303 of the nation's 3,141 counties, according to figures the Census Bureau is releasing today. Non-Hispanic whites were a minority in 262 counties in 2000, up from 183 in 1990. The Census Bureau's report has population estimates by race and ethnicity for every U.S. county. They are the first such estimates since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005, scattering hundreds of thousands of people. The biggest changes were in Orleans Parish, La., home to New Orleans. The share of non-Hispanic whites in Orleans Parish grew from 27 percent in 2005 to 34 percent in 2006, while the share of blacks dropped from about 68 percent to 59 percent. Many of the nation's biggest counties have long had large minority populations. But that diversity is spreading to the suburbs and beyond, causing resentment in some areas. In Northern Virginia, Teresita Jacinto said she feels less welcome today than when she first arrived 30 years ago, when she was one of few Hispanics in the area. "Not only are we feeling less welcome, we are feeling threatened," said Jacinto, a teacher in Woodbridge, about 20 miles southwest of Washington. Woodbridge is part of Prince William County, which recently passed a resolution seeking to deny public services to illegal immigrants. Similar measures have been approved or considered across the nation. In all, state lawmakers have introduced more than 1,400 measures related to immigration this year, the National Conference of State Legislatures says. Supporters said local laws are necessary because Congress has failed to crack down on the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States. But many Hispanics legally in the nation said they feel targeted, too. "I think across the board, all of us feel like we're not welcome," Jacinto said. Prince William County has seen its Hispanic population more than double since 2000, to nearly 70,000 last year. Non-Hispanic whites account for a little more than half the population, down from about two-thirds in 2000. Greg Letiecq recently helped form a group, Help Save Manassas, to fight illegal immigration in Northern Virginia. The group is named for a city surrounded by Prince William County. "It's not about ethnicity, it's not about race. It's about lawful behavior versus unlawful behavior," Letiecq said. He complained that many newcomers eschew American culture in favor of their Latino heritage. "It's the folks who come in and try to maintain the culture of the country they came from," Letiecq said. "They don't seem to embrace the American culture, the English language, the social norms of American culture." Nationally, the number of minorities topped 100 million for the first time in 2006, about a third of the population. By 2050, minorities will account for half of U.S. residents, according to Census Bureau projections.<< Bit late to talk about Hispanic Jihadists, I'd say.
