Protesters on both sides of the immigration issue needled each other and shook their fists, but there was no violence Wednesday in Austin at a demonstration originally scheduled as an anti-illegal immigration demonstration by National Socialists.

The Austin Daily Herald said immigration supporters, as well as human rights advocates and those with anti-Nazi signs, joined the fray.

Organizer Samuel Johnson, Austin resident and member of the National Socialist Movement, told the crowd: “Our country is under attack from a Third World country.”

Countered Robert Reimers, a recent Austin High School graduate in attendance: “They’re wrong. America was made of immigrants,” he said. “Without them, America would be nothing.”

Police were stationed around the area, but despite a lot of fist-shaking and yelling, nothing escalated.
