Neo-Nazis in USA

2010-02-25

The number of hate groups are at record high levels in the US – the increase has been over 50 percent since the year 2000. Lately, bad economy and the election of a black president have fueled the situation. The National Socialist Movement is the largest white supremacist group in the country. They work for a racially segregated US. - We just keep growing. If you stop for food or go to have your taxes done, you could be talking to a white national socialist, says Jeff Hall, leader of NSM California. The main reason for the rise of the neo-nazi groups is their new focus on illegal immigration. J.T. Ready, leader for NSM Arizona, thinks that being a national socialist is easier these days. He used to be a precinct committeeman for the Republican Party in Mesa, but became an open national socialist a year ago. - I felt that it was time, he says. Text by: Anna Roxvall
