Kobach’s new Breitbart column cites a man linked to Holocaust denial, white supremacy

Kobach’s article makes the case that immigrants commit a disproportionate share of crimes. He uses a San Francisco murder trial* of an immigrant to launch into an argument that “illegal aliens” comprise a disproportionate share of the U.S. criminals  In fact, studies have found immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than people born in the U.S., The New York Times reported.

In one of Kobach’s claims, he links to an article written by Peter Gemma, who also argues that immigrant crime rates are disproportionately high.  Gemma is affiliated with the Constitution Party. Before that, the SPLC reports, Gemma worked for the Council of Conservative Citizens — “a group that has complained that non-white immigration was turning the U.S. population into a ‘slimy brown mass of glop’ and described black people as a retrograde species of humanity.’ ”

He wrote in the article linked by Kobach: “The invasion of illegal aliens has established a bloody battlefront in the form of street gangs.”
