Stuff on Simcox:

From Southern Poverty Law Center

Two months later, in a speech to the California Coalition on
Immigration Reform, a hate group whose leader, Barbara Coe, routinely refers to Mexicans as "savages," Simcox offered a dire warning to his audience.

"Take heed of our weapons because we're going to defend our borders by any means necessary," he said...Of illegal immigrants, Simcox added:
"They're trashing their neighborhoods, refusing to assimilate,
standing on street corners, jeering at little girls walking on their
way to school."
