White Supremacist Group Rallies in Small Town

July 20, 2006, 12:36 PM EDT

A group of white supremicists called the [color="Red"]Aryan Nations held a demonstration to protest illegal immigration in the U.S. They say they chose Oregon, Illinois because of the number of immigrants in Ogle County. Only four activits showed up and dozens of people took a stance against their rally.

Like a scene out of an old western, the two sides squared off in the middle of town. Michael Wharfield joined the local community members in protesting the [color="red"]anarchists. He said, "We just came to show that this is unacceptable in our community."

The group chanted ‘Nazis go home,' amidst the [color="red"]Aryan Anarchist Skins' explanation for their presence in Oregon. Commander Skin with the group shouted to the community, "Ya'll come out here, you want immigrants in your country. You don't want to have any benefits for when you retire. You don't want to have any jobs. It works out perfect then right?"

Another member of the group, Lisa Shultz also tried to explain their purpose. She said, "Even the illegal immigrants that are here now if you just go get your paperwork done. Get a job pay your taxes, that's basically what it's about."

Shouts from the local opposition drowned out any chance for debate between the two groups.

Bria Puitt came to the rally to hear the Aryan Nation's point of view. She said, "I did want to hear what they had to say because I don't like to be ignorant myself so I wanted to hear what their message was and in-turn have some sort of intelligent debate."

No chance. The yelling disrupted any sort of debate and the Aryan Nations members who hoped to bring a message to the small town walked away with an earful themselves after a mere hour of cross-fire chants and angry shouts.
