Anti-Immigration Group Promotes Sept. 20 'Shut Down All Ports Of Entry' Day To Close Off US-Mexico Borders

Amidst the immigration crisis in the United States, an anti-immigration organization with nearly 1,500 Facebook members, is trying to shut down the border between the U.S. and Mexico to put a stop to immigration. Latino Rebels reports that the organization is trying to recruit people to organize a “Shut Down All Ports of Entry” event on the U.S.-Mexican border on Sept. 20, beginning at 8:00 a.m. PT.

"We are but a small representation of Americans who are unsettled and deeply concerned with our current Administration, in all branches of Federal and State governments. Our mission is to Shut Down, every United States’ Port of Entry on the Southern Border, until our Goals are met," writes the group on Facebook. "By doing this, we will stop approximately 1.4 Billions dollars of trade, per day, from going into, and out of, Mexico and The United States of America."

"This action will force the elected officials in The United States and Mexico, to come up with a permanent and legitimate solution for dealing with the Illegal Immigration issue, enforce our rule of law, and bring our Marine, Sgt. Tahmooressi, home. This protects all American citizens and those legal immigrants who wish to come here the legal way," adds the group. "The Border Shut Down will remain in place, until our Goals are met, in writing, from both the United States and the Mexican governments."

This is not the only prejudicial group that has resurfaced in light of the immigration crisis. Earlier this year, it was reported that the Ku Klux Klan in South Carolina is using catastrophe as a platform for recruiting. According to media reports, the KKK recruitment strategy during the illegal immigration crisis is to leave bags of candy on driveways with a note to "Save our land, join the Klan." The note provides residents of northwestern South Carolina with a phone number to the Klan Hotline — an automated message about how the hate group is battling illegal immigration.

"Be a man, join the Klan! Illegal immigration is destroying America," says the hotline's automated message, reports FOX Carolina. "Always remember: if it ain't white, it ain't right. White power."

For many residents in Seneca region of South Carolina, finding the KKK recruitment candy and note was a surprise since many are not aware that the group is still active. Despite the fact that the KKK is still operating, their influence is minimal and their follower count is dwindling. Take, for instance, the fact that the 221 active KKK chapters in 2010 dropped to 163 active chapters in 2013.
