Neo-Nazis to March Saturday in Phoenix, Arizona
Phoenix, Arizona: “Neo-Nazi group to protest immigration in Phoenix march”
– ABC 15 reports:
– “On Saturday afternoon, Neo-nazi members will take a stand in Arizona.”
– “The members, with the National Socialist Movement (NSM), will be marching to the Arizona State Capitol to protest.”
– ” ‘It’s an American first rally,’ said NSM member Steven Boswell. ‘It’s a demand for our politicians to put Americans first.’ ”
– “Organizers say the protest will focus on immigration.”
– ” ‘We’ve got completely wide open borders and politicians who will bend over backwards for Mexicans or anyone else who is not American,’ Boswell said.”
– “But civil rights leaders say the group is using immigration as a front.”
– ” ‘(They are) injecting their vile agenda into what is a legitimate mainstream issue,’ said Bill Straus with the Arizona chapter of the Anti-Defamation League.”
– “Straus says it’s common for hate groups to take political issues and twist them to gain support.”
– ” ‘They are about their philosophy: That caucasians are superior to other people and this country would be better without people of any color — period,’ Straus said.”
– “The NSM calls itself America’s ‘largest white civil rights organization.’ ”
– “It is also holding similar protests this weekend across the country.”
