anti-immigrant extremist primer

I found this helpful chart in a powerpoint by Bradford S. Jones of the University of Arizona... it is a great visual of the web between some of the most influential anti-immigrant extremists.

The Minutemen have given President Bush an ultimatum (pardon me while my side splits)
