According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, there is an intense rise in 'Patriot' groups within the country; and they are opposed to President Obama's talks of gun control following the Newtown elementary school massacre. As reported in the Huffington Post, these anti-Obama hate organizations are cause for concern due to their "growing threat of domestic extremism" and "because their anti-government sentiment is almost always paired with racism."  

These antigovernment groups are also known for their anti-immigration stance. "Factors fueling the antigovernment movement in recent years include changing demographics driven by immigration" according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.  These types of 'Patriot' groups and militias try to influence the immigration reform dialogue (pushing their anti-immigration position) here's what they are saying: www.ifyoudonttheywill.com.
