Satan loves Mexicans?

The immigration debate in this country tends to cut a million different ways depending on ethnicity, political leanings, business interest, geographic location, etc. FWIW, I do not have very strong feelings on this issue as compared to say abortion or equality issues. That said, I generally think it is a good idea to offer productive members of society a place at the table and while I do not agree with a blanket amnesty, we must do something to allow people who pay taxes and are otherwise law-abiding a path out of the shadows. Immigration is one issue where reasonable people can and do disagree.

Others, however, hold some completely insane ideas regarding this topic.

Utah County Republicans ended their convention on Saturday by debating Satan's influence on illegal immigrants.

The group was unable to take official action because not enough members stuck around long enough to vote, despite the pleadings of party officials. The convention was held at Canyon View Junior High School.

Don Larsen, chairman of legislative District 65 for the Utah County Republican Party, had submitted a resolution warning that Satan's minions want to eliminate national borders and do away with sovereignty.

In a speech at the convention, Larsen told those gathered that illegal immigrants "hate American people" and "are determined to destroy this country, and there is nothing they won't do."

Illegal aliens are in control of the media, and working in tandem with Democrats, are trying to "destroy Christian America" and replace it with "a godless new world order -- and that is not extremism, that is fact," Larsen said.

At the end of his speech, Larsen began to cry, saying illegal immigrants were trying to bring about the destruction of the U.S. "by self invasion."

What the fuck is wrong with this raving lunatic? Larsen’s “facts” are some of the craziest bullshit I have come across in ages. I mean really, if illegals control the media, why does Wolf Blitzer still speak English? And the Democrats can hardly work with themselves. How in the world could they conspire with Satan’s Mexican horde? The language barrier alone would be a deal breaker. Perhaps the most shocking thing in all of this that Larsen is chairman for the county Party.

In all seriousness, Mr. Larsen needs to see a mental health professional. I fear that he is a very sick man.
