This just boggles the mind, is this guy for real?

BROWNSVILLE - On a quiet street in this bucolic berg, the hand-painted sign is fixed to a house. Beneath it an arrow points to the Hispanic family next door. The sign says:
WE MUST PROTECT OUR BORDERS.

I'll try and get the original story, but isn't this a code phrase for the freepers?

Travis wrote a letter to the editor saying this wasn't about racism but respect. "I am not a racist," he tells you in an interview. "I have Mexican friends, Puerto Rican friends, black friends. Some of my best friends are Mexicans."

Just amazing to me.

So does his 1st amendment right trump the victims right to not be harassed for their country of origin?
