Republicans Around The Country Continue To Compare Migrants To Animals
A Republican legislator in Kansas is taking major heat after suggesting that illegal immigrants be shot like wild hogs by gunmen in helicopters.State Rep. Virgil Peck made the explosive remarks Monday during a debate on how best to control 500 feral swine in Kansas.“Looks like to me, if shooting these immigrating feral hogs works, maybe we have found a (solution) to our illegal immigration problem,” he said, according to The Wichita Eagle.
Rhetoric which compared minority groups to animals was a favorite tactic of Nazi propagandists.
La Raza Justice Movement condemns any sort of comparison of human beings to animals and recognizes that this sort of ideology is driving much of the anti-migrant legislation in many bills found in the Texas legilature.
