Surprise response!
BTW – You forgot to mention that AJC’s parent company, Cox Enterprises, sponsors Jerry/GALEO’s anti-enforcment work.

But, we all get it. Jeremy and Potter et al have proven many times who they are. Anti-enforcement screamers are “civil rights activists” and illegal aliens are “immigrants.” And the AJC doesn’t note corrections. You guys seem angry…

Mr. King:

That’s not the way it works. If you want to challenge the accuracy of the story, then point out your concerns to Jeremy and his editor, Susan Potter. They will determine how to address your concern.

If your concern is not of a factual error, then you may submit a letter to the editor. I believe we allow approximately 150 words for letters, but Andre can correct me.

Thanks,

Bert Roughton

AP: “The Montgomery, Ala.-based Southern Poverty Law Center hasn’t put King’s organization on its list of hate groups.

But the center lists him as a “nativist” and has expressed concern about his tendency to call illegal immigrants “invaders” and his contact with other more extreme activists.

“His tactics have generally not been to get up in the face of actual immigrants and threaten them,” said the law center’s Heidi Beirich. “Because he is fighting, working on his legislation through the political process, that is not something we can quibble with, whether we like the law or not.”
