The anti-immigrant group Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), headed by activist William Gheen, chose to commemorate the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks today by very literally comparing undocumented immigrants to the 9/11 hijackers, sending out an email with the subject line: “Illegals are hijacking our government: Let’s roll Americans.”

“Today, let us bow our heads in prayer for those lost on 9/11 and the thousands of Americans that continue to be slaughtered each year by illegal immigrants who are being supported by large corporations and our own government and politicians,” Gheen pleads in the email.

He goes on to suggest that recipients “honor the fallen” by contacting elected officials to urge them to oppose comprehensive immigration legislation: “Let’s hit these office phone lines, twitter accounts, and Facebook pages hard today, and instead of pro amnesty supporters, let the Americans speak against amnesty on 9/11!”
