“In the heart of Tucson’s South Side, a new billboard overlooks the mostly Hispanic area as it fans the flames of the illegal-immigration debate.

“STOP the INVASION,” the bold letters in red, white and blue scream to drivers headed west on Interstate 10. “Secure our borders,” it demands in smaller letters. A few dark splotches of paint ”” likely applied by opponents of the message ”” already mar the sign.

The billboard is one of 12 that have gone up in several states, including California, Texas and Florida. The Grassfire.org signs are part of a national campaign that seeks to pressure lawmakers to clamp down on illegal immigration.”
