The thing that popped in my radar was **BigT** ’s mentioning of that thread about the “Preservation–of the Ethnic West and the Ecology” A few of our resident "scientific"racists also moonlight as pseudo environmentalists, the idea is to attempt at setting wedge issues among environmentalists and the ones in favor of immigrants.

For more info on that peculiar racist attempt at a wedge, look at this article from the Southern Poverty Law Center:

**Greenwash, Nativists, environmentalism and the hypocrisy of hate.**

My family has a long history of Sierra Club membership going back to the 1930s (and I am a member now). Odd that they didn’t make the obvious connection that even if immigration increases U.S. population, it doesn’t increase global population.

Damn right, get rid of all the immigrants and return this country to what it was, and was meant to be – us native Americans, Chrerokee and Iriquois. Although I’m not sure whether there’s any Mohicans.

They were immigrants, too.

I never got my invite. I guess for some reason, I’m not “white” enough. ☹

It’s never too soon for quality snark.

IIRC, your tribe is not one of those, though the Mormons may know more. 😉

I used to call them all the time in [Uncasville, CT.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncasville,_Connecticut) It’s been a few weeks, but I’m pretty sure they’re still there.
