Instapundit: immigration rally was designed to fail
2006-05-02
As usual, the Blogfather gets it right.

People are talking about backlash, and how these rallies are counterproductive. That's probably right, but I think that's what the A.N.S.W.E.R. folks are hoping for. Right now you have lots of immigrants who want to be part of America. The A.N.S.W.E.R. people have been stoking these demonstrations not because they want to help illegal immigrants, but because they hope to provoke a backlash that will make them angry at America instead. They don't have short-term ameliorative political goals -- they want shock troops for the revolution.

I would just add that just because ANSWER thinks it'll turn the illegals into "shock troops for the revolution" doesn't mean that significant numbers of them will actually be radicalized. The moonbat Left always overestimates its persuasive skills.
