SPLC claims conservatives are causing people to commit crimes against Latinos, however even they are having a hard time coming up with any evidence of such crimes.

The extremist far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, who’s founder was chief fundraiser for the Ted Kennedy for President campaign, has declared that the self-defense minor wounding of an illegal alien drug smuggler by Ignacio and Ramos was a “hate crime.” The SPLC groups the two agents in with “racist skinheads” and says they committed an “anti-Latino hate crime” even though one of the agents was Latino himself.
In fact, the SPLC blames the “national debate over immigration” for causing racially motivated violence against Latinos.
In an article comically entitled “violence engulfs Latinos,” lists 32 entries as evidence of Latinos being engulfed by violence. The entries span a three year period. Which means the SPLC had to go back three years to find this many cases.
Three of the entries are about inconsequential people posting violent statements on the internet. One of the entries is about a minutemen who was falsely charged with battery for political reasons and acquitted. Six entries are about vandalism. One entry is the Ignacio and Ramos incident. Two are for gun-related charges in which the SPLC claims the person would have committed a crime against Latinos. One entry is conspiracy to commit arson. 14 entries are assaults, some of which involve robberies. Many are minor assaults, but some involve serious injuries.
Four of the entries are murders, or alleged murders. The first is a Cuban murdered by whites in Missouri. The second is the murder of six Mexicans by black serial killers in Georgia. The third is a Hispanic killed by a racially mixed group in New York City. The fourth is an alledged murder of an illegal alien by a border patrol agent. This allegation is still being fought out in the courts. The border patrol agent has been charged with 2nd degree murder, but not yet convicted of anything.
So there you have it. In this wave of violence which has “engulfed” Latinos, the SPLC can only find 4 “murders” in three years. Only one appears to actually be a racially motivated murder. The Mexicans killed in Georgia were killed by black serial killers who preyed on illegal aliens for convenience and were motivated by a desire to take their money, not make a political statement. Often illegal aliens carry large wads of cash, and that is what the murderers wanted. The third murder was a Hispanic killed in New York City. An internet search on the murder turned up no information. However one of the five perpetrators has an Egyptian surname, one has a surname common to Peru, and two have surnames that are Spanish. The fifth has an English sounding surname.
