A confrontational legislative hearing Monday — with a witness calling a state senator a fascist and lawmakers battling over whether the state should put a bounty on undocumented immigrants — set the tone for this year’s debate on immigration and the state’s role in border security.

    He is a fascist. And should be treated exactly the same way soldiers treated fascists 80 years ago.

      I truly don’t understand why we don’t treat fascists the way we did back then. It’s really the only proven way to keep the rest of the populace safe from them.

        Do remember that Nazis were alive and well in the United States all the way up to the time it entered WWII. Only then did it become fashionable to hide the fact one sympathized with Nazis.

        It literally takes war or great civil unrest to push back fascism for a time.
