Check out Perez Hilton standing up for migrants and linking to one of the Washington Post articles exposing the horrendous conditions migrants suffer from while in detention.

The post only consists of six short words, including the title.

Title: Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!,

THIS is unacceptable.
Perez Hilton (14 May 2008)

With a toxic anti-migrant online climate I'll take all of support we can get. Needless to say, a link from one of the most prominent blogs on the web is more than significant support. Still I couldn't help but notice all the migrant hate in the comments.

This is just a sampling:

#19 SPICS AND NIGS GET OUT

EXACTLY! SERVES EM RITE! IF YOU COME IN ILLIGALLY THEN GET THE FUCK OUT! STOOPID SPICS AND NIGS! WHO CARES! I WOULD DRUG EM TOO TO GET EM OUT! NO TELLIN WHAT THEY MIGHT DO! AND THE WORD ALIEN IS HERE FOR A REASON! PLAY BY THE RULES DUMBFUCKS OR GET THE FUCK OUT! WE STARTED AS A WHITE NATION ANYWAY WE DON'T NEED NO MORE COLORED STUPID PEOPLE. PLAY BY THE RULES OR DON'T COME HERE….

#36 Heather says

YES IT IS FUCKING ACCEPTABLE. YOU ONLY DEFEND IT BECAUSE YOU ARE HISPANIC. IF YOU DONT FUCKING BELONG IN THIS COUNTRY THEN GET THE FUCK OUT. I THINK IF YOU ARE NOT A LEGAL CITIZEN AND YOU ARE CAUGHT THAT YOU SHOULD BE BURNED ALIVE. DIE DIE DIE.

It's not hard to imagine migrants getting treated as badly as they do when there are people that actually write comments like these.
