Neo Nazis rally against immigration reform in Los Angeles

Neo Nazis rallied in Los Angeles on Saturday against immigration reform in the latest example of heightened tensions over the contentious issue.

Up to 40 of the neo Nazis appeared on the lawn of Los Angeles City Hall calling for the removal of all non-white people from the southwest United States.

Up to 100 counter protesters also showed up and there were heated exchanges and physical clashes and five of the neo Nazis were injured, according to police.

Police showed up in large numbers and led the neo Nazis away after the rally. A group of counter demonstrators challenged the white supremacists however in a nearby parking lot and the injuries occurred during those scuffles.

Commander David Doan stated the LAPD's goal was to ensure the right of free speech while avoiding physical clashes “There was a tremendous amount of restraint shown by our officers,” he said.

“We allowed both sides to exercise their 1st Amendment rights. I am very happy. Our people did an outstanding job,” the incident commander said.

Immigration reform please it is to just get votes for Obama the man that wants to be King is a jerk. People that want to be part of the country need to come in the right way. Mexicans think that they do us a servise by doing jobs that one will do, will that a lie they take and take they refuse to learn to speak english, and they don't pay tax's. And Obama gave them free healthcare that I will have to pay for. The Irish I didn't know were a problem but if you think coming here that you are getting freedoms will Obama and his croines are working hard on distroying all that America stand for. Mexicans stay home Irish I see no problem just come in the right way but if you a soicalist or communist, maxist, we don't need you we have Obama and we are going to vote him out.

The only good thing about it is that the counter demonstrators outnumbered the nut cases. If most of these right wing nuts would even bother to examine their own backgrounds, I'd bet they'd find that their great grandparents were immigrants.

Ahh, these idiots join those other misguided folks who are against immigration reform and the vastly increased tax revenue it would generate.

If President Obama were to judge Irish attitudes to immigration reform on the strength of the comments here and elsewhere on Irish Central, he would have to conclude that the Irish are overwhelmingly, almost violently, opposed to letting any more illegals in. He might also detect a strong current of racism. Why, then, would he wish to give favourable treatment to the so-called Undocumented Irish? What's salsa for the Mexicans is hot sauce for the Irish.

If they are undocumented then they are here against our laws. We don't need reform, we need to go by the laws on the books. That means get rid of them! They are welcome if they do it legal, if not to hell with them.

Watchman: " ... The Irish – or at least those who comment on the Voice website – appear to be overwhelmingly opposed to undocumented immigration. ..." Well, speaking from "over here", I can't say I blame the homefolks for trying to protect the turf, vocations and values. ... Maybe it is just me, but here in the states we have a similar problem with the mescans, Islanofascists and goatherds. This might be a simple semantics Q&A ... To paraphrase Cashous Clay / Mohamed Ali: "No Irishman every called me Gringo."

johnozod: " They want all the non white people who were there before the white people arrived to be removed? How about all the white people be removed and give it back to the non white people? " Yes, that would be difficult. It seems that north African fishermen settled the islands of the Irish Sea a while back. Can't seem to be rid of them. The Romans tried by enslavement, repeatedly. The Vikings tried by attack and brigandry, repeatedly. The Scots tried a few times. The Brits tried of late with social and religious pressures several times ... Now the skinhead wannabe nazis?

Has anyone taken a look at the crime in the U.S. cities? Where did all the gangs come from? Has anyone looked at the trash left behind by these illegals when they hang out all day throwing their coffee cups and lunch bags on the ground and urinating where ever they please. Years ago we had people coming into this country that wanted to do good, now its what can this country do for me and how can I screw the government. Wake up.

Oh dear. Here we go again. The Irish – or at least those who comment on the Voice website – appear to be overwhelmingly opposed to undocumented immigration. Have we forgotten our own history, or do we just put Mexicans in a separate category?

I am against immigration reform, does that make me a neo-nazi? I don't think so.
