VCT note: While generally accurate, this report contains two significant misinterpretations.
First, Glenn never talked about racial wars, he talked about a civil war involving Mexico. He did not say that racial wars would spread across the U.S.
Second, he didn't say that the cry of racism is intended to "disband" America, he said it is intended to disarm America. The difference, while subtle, is significant.
The issue is Mexican nationalism, not race. Unfortunately, many in the media hear what they want to hear.

ROGERS -
Immigration is negatively affecting the United States' quality of life, children, economy and culture, Glenn Spencer, leader of a California group, Voice for Citizens Together, told a group of over 100 at an Americans for an Immigration Moratorium meeting Thursday.
An anonymous member of AIM paid for Spencer to fly to the area to speak, AIM leader Dan Morris said.
Spencer said he is concerned and angered by the number of immigrants in the United States - especially in California, where he resides - because immigration causes the United States to foot the bill for those who do not speak English, do not have jobs, are in gangs, and who attack Americans.
"I think possibly in the future, I might have to get a visa to visit the United States of America," he said.
He said groups like AIM and VCT are often called racist. "These cries of racism are nothing more than attempts to (disband) America," he said.
He related a story to the crowd concerning an incident that took place at the Los Angeles Coliseum Feb. 15.
He said that while a soccer game between the United States and Mexico was in progress at the Coliseum, Americans were punched by Mexicans, spit on, and their American flags destroyed. He also told the crowd that Hispanics dumped cups of urine on fans cheering for the U.S. soccer team.
Spencer said the Los Angeles Police Department was not present for the event. He said that out of 92,500 fans present, "91,000 were anti-American." Spencer said immigration will eventually take over America unless something is done about it.
"The reason a lot of Americans aren't angry is because they aren't being told the truth," he said. He told the rapt audience that Los Angles County will soon be a "northern annex of Mexico."
Spencer said immigration has also taken a toll on the quality of education in California. "In 1965, L.A. had the finest schools in America. Today, they are the worst," he said.
Spencer also told AIM members of the "18th Street Gang. It has 25,000 members," he said. "60 percent were in the country illegally. The police will not go into (their neighborhoods) unless they are in force."
He said his group spreads information about the dangers of immigration throughout California.
"We're warning you about a threat to your own country," he said. "Why don't you pay attention?"
Spencer described the movement known as "reconquista" to AIM members. "Reconquista" essentially entails Mexicans taking over the southwestern portion of the United States.
"If they succeed in (this), and at the rate they're moving, there won't be a United States of America," he said. "This isn't something that happened to a guy in an airplane over Bosnia - this is happening right now."
He said that soon, racial wars such as the ones he has experienced in southern California, could make their way to northwest Arkansas.
"The only way the United States is going to survive ... we have to close the border with Mexico," he said to a standing ovation accompanied by cheers. "We have to stop NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement). We have to halt all non-English speaking broadcasting in the United States - they're training the Mexicans to take over."
He said racial wars could possibly become nationwide. "There is going to be a civil/Mexican war in the near future," he said. "There is a clear and present danger to the sovereignty of the United States."
Morris said he feels the northwest Arkansas area will soon face many of the problems California is experiencing.
"I figure we're somewhere between seven to eight years behind them," Morris said.
