John McCain Warns Illegal Immigration Enforcement Could Lead to Riots
The National Ledger ^ | Jun 3, 2007 | John W Lillpop

Just when the dust was beginning to settle following President Bush's latest assault on common sense, in which he accused conservatives of "spreading fear" by being honest about amnesty, Senator John McCain decided that fear mongering was not such a bad tactic after all. In fact, McCain decided that fear mongering was essential in trying to sell his amnesty snake oil to a skeptical and increasingly suspicious public.

On June 2, McCain rolled out his fear-based defense of amnesty on the campaign trail in Le Mars, Iowa. Responding to a question about deportation of illegal aliens, McCain delivered the following dilly: "In case you hadn't noticed, the thousands of people who have been relegated to ghettos have risen up and burned cars in France,'' McCain said. "They've got huge problems in France. They have tremendous problems. The police can't even go into certain areas in the suburbs of Paris. I don't want that in the suburbs of America.''

Most of the welfare in this country is not on basis of actual need, but paid as a bribe to keep the cities from burning. As long as we pay for it the politicians can be “compassionate”.
I wonder what old Crazy John would say if he had to worry about someone else getting fed up, and taking it to the streets? Water cannons, anyone?

“Well, John, the big military hero, is going to give in to the extortion of these criminals. So, if we threaten to riot will he then vote against this bill?”

And we all thought Jesse Jackson and his RENT A MOBS were a problem.

“In case you hadn’t noticed, the thousands of people who have been relegated to ghettos have risen up and burned cars in France,’’ McCain said. “They’ve got huge problems in France”.

Lets not be like France, the criminals could possibly get mad and burn our cities, France treated those people mean...We must no do that, we must be nice, give them what they want, gently pander to them...Lets make them all happy Americans, give them things, make it easy for them...It’s good for us.

“That’s what the second amendment and Winchester 1300 Defenders were designed for. If they try to burn my car, they’re going down.”

Bingo! And you can warn them ahead of time by declaring that citizens who shoot rioters and looters will be immune to criminal/civil prosecution.

Would someone please remind the sonuvabitch, that he is a LAWMAKER.....not a scofflaw.

If the bastard won’t ENFORCE laws, then why in hell do they keep writing laws to cover their asses for NON-ENFORCEMENT of the laws already on the books...

These bastards will turn America into a Turd World banana republic in our lifetime..

A POX on all their sorry asses..

Then arrest them, and deport them whether they are illegal or not. Americans as well. Drop them off in Mexico City and say, “These guys apparently want to live by YOUR rules.”

Because they write laws that can’t be enforced in any realistic manner.

As GWB once said “Bring It On”.

This is fearmongering nonsense, but at least we could catch and deport the law breakers who do riot. ... couldn’t we?

Dear Johnny boyremember when the French asked us for a bribe?
Million for Defense, not one cent for tribute.

And then there was that radical George Washington, was he unpatriotic?

“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.”

Kennedy does, and he's pretty happy about it.

Bush and McCain are delusional.

Kyl had his pocket picked by the old master, Kennedy.

I agree with your #36. Problem is there is nobody willing to enforce that law either. We can’t seem to get enough politicians attention to secure either border, let alone deal with the present invaders.

Some without actually saying so, have the attitude there was an unofficial welcome mat with engraved invitations for cheap work because that is what is *good* for America.

Correct! , and hopefully not necessary. During the last LA riots, the people protecting their property were not molested by the Gobernment. Hopefully, that will hold true, but I would not bet on it.

I think McCain needs to stop running for president, calm down, and does his job.

How do these people in Washington get elected?

Could it be that millions of the 30 million illegal aliens are voting, changing the very direction and course of this country.

What would they expect to eventually happen when 30 million people are allowed to enter illegally, given free goodies, health care etc.

Does anyone think this will not start affecting our electoral process?

I really want to respect Sen. McCain for his service, the man went through some horrific times. I am not sure if that has anything to do with his going over the deep end, but over the deep end, he has gone. “They will riot”, is just one of the latest of the many defenses for this moronic bill. You will hear many more before this is over, “dividing families”, Obama is still on that one, “living in the shadows”, is a hard sell when you have a million protesting in the streets. This bill is evidence that the socialism is no longer just creeping in this country, it is going full speed towards a third world, socialists, PC crap-hole. See tagline for solution.

I’m done with this idiot. This is not France and we would never give up a portion of any US city to illegals. The National Guard would be called in and order restored.
McStupid just lost any consideration I would have given him for my vote.
