Mukit Hossain, Gerry Connolly and Mahdi Bray speak about illegal immigration at a Muslim political event in Fairfax County in August 2007.

Actually, they don't really talk about illegal immigration, but rather they invoke fearful straw men and proceed to condemn them: Opposition to illegal immigration is "intolerance;" anybody who is not "white" will be targeted; it's "open season" on EVERYBODY.

Before an audience that probably contained a large number of legal immigrants, it was a display of blatant fear-mongering. Unfortunately, with the vast majority of Virginians now in favor of increased immigration enforcement, this message is unlikely to get much traction.
