Advocates: Take hate out of immigration discussion
A group of advocacy organizations is meeting today to discuss ways to tame the language being used in the debates surrounding immigration in Rhode Island.
A statement released by the Center for Hispanic Policy and Advocacy said the organization is calling the meeting in response to an incident reported yesterday in the Providence Journal.
In the incident, a business owner asked a customer, an American citizen, to show his Social Security card after hearing the customer speaking Spanish in the store.
According to the statement, CHisPA , the local affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, and any interested groups and individuals will meet to develop “a strategy to ending hate speech in the immigration debate.”
The meeting is set for today at 11 a.m. at the CHisPA office, 421 Elmwood Ave. in Providence.

Please be civil. Vicious comments, personal attacks and profanity won't be published. Name and email are required; email address will not publish.
Here's a start. Stop calling those of us that want the nation's laws enforced and borders regulated 'racists'.
