OK, now that I've gotten that out of the way, also via And We Shall March courtesy delux_vivens:

This article. I can't even. I'll just quote.

"An anonymous group* says it quietly watched Hispanics in their neighborhoods, schools, churches and "public welfare buildings" to compile a list of 1,300 people it says are illegal immigrants living in Utah. The group sent the list to law enforcement agencies and news media demanding that those named "be deported immediately." [...] The list contains birth dates, workplaces, addresses, phone numbers and Social Security numbers. Names of children are included. Several pregnant women have their exact due dates listed. All the names seem to be Hispanic.**"


* who call themselves Concerned Citizens of the United States. Someone please send a barf bag ASAP.

some days there isn't enough rage in the world.

If it wasn't or Old Spice ads keeping me sane, I tell you...

Pardon my language, but this is fucking disgusting. If people want to do good works, how about doing good works and not totally destroying people's humanity, for fuck's sake?

Sorry, I'm a bit ragey at the moment, anyway, but this just oh my god. Who in the hell do these people think they are, and why in the fuck did they forget what compassion is? I guarantee, I would lay money I do not have on the fact that this was one of those groups that is super all about good ol' WASP values. But if you're not one of them, you're just a piece of shit who doesn't count, right?

Evidence suggests to me that it's one or two state employees who lifted the data illegally from their workplace and are just pretending to be a larger organization "on the watch." it's certainly designed to terrorize people on the list, however. Among other things.

Agree on both points. Their pseudo-explanation of how they did it is grandiose & ridiculous - I mean FFS their sources supposedly included "legal Mexican nationals who infiltrate their social networks" but this is the kind of information that would come from a corrupt schmuck inside an agency, not from some neighborhood spy shit. But either way this will fuck with people's lives. And even if it didn't... even if they hadn't put any real people on that list... just knowing that there are assholes out there who'd like us to live in this kind of sick dream is to some extent making us live in it already.
