CafePress was selling stickers and decals designed to look like a permit to allow people to hunt "illegal aliens." Not only was this offensive, it clearly incited violence. Victor Hoelscher fought to get these items removed from the site and CafePress gave in after hundreds joined him. As Victor says, "there is no place in today’s society for a corporation that seeks to profit from invoking dehumanizing, racist stereotypes and bigotry."
Production, distribution and sale of this product is irresponsible, racist and promotes violence and hostility against minorities, migrants and people of immigrant origin. This product has absolutely no use other than to spread, incite, promote and justify racial hatred, violence xenophobia, and other forms of hatred based on intolerance and to demonize immigrants as invaders who should be shot on sight. There is no place in today’s society for a corporation that seeks to profit from invoking dehumanizing, racist stereotypes and bigotry. This product is offensive, irresponsible, racist, promotes violence against people and it's just plain stupid.
Cease sale and distribution of the racist "Illegal Alien Hunting Permits'
