Fox Mangles Glorious Arizona Day

Anti-Immigrant Group Calls for 'Safe Passage' Of Illegals Out of U.S.
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is urging U.S. citizens to pressure the White House and the Homeland Security Department to establish "safe departure" border checkpoints along the U.S. border for illegal immigrants so they can leave without fear of being detained or prosecuted for immigration crimes.

"The peaceful and gradual exodus of illegals from Arizona shows there is no need for comprehensive immigration reform amnesty," William Gheen, president of the group, said in a written statement. "Comprehensive immigration enforcement works and has the desired effect without mass deportations."

"I think it's clearly part of the attrition strategy. Make things so horrible for immigrants that they will self deport," said Sarahi Uribe, a regional organizer for the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. "But while it's true some people are leaving Arizona, a great deal of people are staying."

Which group mentioned is an 'Anti-Immigrant' group, exactly? People who run down the street chasing Mexicans while brandishing antacid bottles? Sounds like the gory hypocrisy of a pro-amnesty group to me.
