One of the founding members of the Minuteman movement, Laine Lawless, exhorts the leadership of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement (NSM) to launch a campaign of violence and intimidation against Latino immigrants. "Steal the money from any illegal walking into a bank or check cashing place. ...Discourage Spanish-speaking children from going to school," Lawless writes in a private email to Mark Martin, "SS commander" of the NSM's western Ohio chapter. "Be creative. ...Create an anonymous propaganda campaign warning that any further illegal immigrants will be shot, maimed or seriously messed-up upon crossing the border."

The goal? "Make every illegal alien feel the heat of being a person without status."
