‘Stop The Debate’ website lays out the case for censorship
Led by the National Council of La Raza and the Anti-Defamation League, the open-borders groups have started a concerted campaign to persuade Cable TV executives to either bar Roy Beck, President of NumbersUSA and their Director of Government Relations Rosemary Jenks from cable TV shows, or to ensure Beck and Jenks are introduced as representatives of an "extremist" organization with ties to hate and racist groups. The story was picked up by the AP approximately one month ago and since then has picked up steam.
In addition to their “lobbying” efforts directed at Cable TV, La Raza and the ADL have begun disseminating misinformation through a website called “We Can Stop The Hate dot org.”
“I can tell you that the majority of text on the La Raza website about the groups, about NumbersUSA and about me is simply not factual,” said Beck.
Via this website, the ADL's Stacy Burnett said anybody who uses words like conquest, invasion, swarms, hordes, crime and disease in connection with illegal immigration — or who even suggests that immigration is an economic threat to a community — is guilty of hate speech.
La Raza says such talk is "used to justify extreme action, sometimes even genocide, since the people using those labels claim that the 'larger public interest' is at risk."
The website also says that more than 40 million Americans are members of hate, racist and extremist groups that apparently are fanning the passions of genocide toward immigrants.
“Wow! And I thought we were just trying to reduce the numerical level of immigration and to enforce immigration laws that have been on the books for decades,” said Beck. “Don't you find that 40 million figure a little hard to believe? What groups can they possibly be counting? This stuff sounds so nuts that you can see why I dismissed it at first, but the website is rallying its own supporters in a relentless campaign to pressure TV executives to erase nearly all opposition to amnesties from TV.”
PLEASE CONTACT TV EXECUTIVES AND CALL FOR A CONTINUED OPEN IMMIGRATION FORUM.
