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.''

People actually have been making noise - just ask the RNC and most Congressional offices.

We just can’t let up, because Washington has a tin ear on this one.

I can’t believe anybody in Arizona is going to re-elect a sellout traitor politician after this amnesty treason.

I couldn't believe he was elected LAST time.

I read a book about 20 years ago about a coming second American revolution... and what would it would eventually take to protect our rights as American citizens. It was almost prophetic....

Latinos and the 1992 Los Angeles Riots: A Behavioral Sciences Perspective (Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, Vol. 15, No. 4, 427-448 (1993)
DOI: 10.1177/07399863930154001

The same could be said for blacks. Some of the most hateful black militants are not poor or oppressed. It’s about identity politics and specials rights for social groups. If all this immigration of recent years had happened from Mexico 100 years ago, without the cultural Marxists running around, I would have much less to fear. Of course, Hispanics would now be 50% of the pop instead of 25%...

So, to avoid the problem caused by immigration in France, he wants open immigration in America?

Any Senator, Member of the House or President who lets the situation get so bad that enforcing the immigration law would lead to riots should either resign or be impeached.

I said, “want to” not that I did. McCain would be the last I would vote for, but if he went through what has been suggested I can respect his service while criticizing his ideology, if this crap he regurgitates can be called ideology. I found this link, not sure of its veracity nor have I vetted it and it is the first I have heard of this. Given McCain’s disturbing affection for terrorists and foreign invaders what does that say of the man we would anoint King, that he supported him in 2000 and is still close with him as I understand? The link:http://www.geoffmetcalf.com/mccain.html Any info on this feel free to reply privately.

"Deputize me today!"

Must maintain the chain of command and the rule of law as long as possible to avoid total chaos and anarchy. See your local sheriff. He's/she's authorized to do that, being elected by the good Citizens of your county. Giterdone early. May not be time to do that after the ballon goes up. Take a bunch with you. You'll probably have to buy your own guns and a hat, but maybe you can bargain for some ammo. A stand-by reserve. Yeah, that should work.

If the enemy, whoever they turned out to be, knows we've got the numbers and are organized somewhat, it may be just enough to avoid a worst-case scenario.

Yeeesh, McManiac has decided to mimic the French socialists.

Royal: If you don’t vote for me there will be riots!

McLame: If we don’t grant amnesty the aliens will riot!

Weird.

I’m just tired of it all. I’m tired of my concerns being minimized and demonized. I’m tired of America being turned into a free-for-all with no concern for our history, ancestors or our well being. I’m tired of our elected officals only being concerned about the dollar bill above all else. This is not the America I learned about nor the America I love. I’m just tired of trying to be “nice” about it when in reality AFAIC they are out to destroy America and in essence harm my family and our posterity.

In my neck of the woods, the rioters don’t stand a chance. The locals are loaded for bear and know the terrain.

Where rioting would make a difference, though, is the inner cities, where the dirtbags and thugs have been enabled for 40 years and the residents feel no ownership and care nothing about what happens to their locale. (During the Rodney King riots, the local residents had no problem trashing their own neighborhoods.)

If entire inner city blocks were burned to the ground, they’d just sit and wait for the meals-on-wheels trucks to show up like the Hurricane Katrina “victims”.

"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.

McCain needs to be put out to pasture. He's not stable enough to be President....

I wonder if McCain is hoping that his remarks will encourage them to riot now so we'll let them have amnesty to stop the riots? I wouldn't put it past him!

There is a huge difference that he has overlooked. The rioters in France are French citizens now.....

Our situation is totally different. The illegals in America are foreigners and if they start rioting, we will take it as an attack from another country.....

If/when it becomes necessary that we have to defend ourselves from them we will start shooting!

The more that Republican politicians (and their Democrat siblings) defend the illegals, the more it seems to me they are defending the campaign contributing companies that wantonly employ them.

Riot that, Sen. McCain.

David Osterlund, June 13, 1995

Its future will depend on the ability of a self-governing nation of free men and women to find within this rich and living charter the way to confront the challenges of the centuries ahead. An active and informed citizenry is necessary to the effective functioning of our constitutional system.

As our first Chief Justice John Marshall wrote, "The people make the Constitution, and the people can unmake it. It is the creature of their own will and lives only by their will."

All of us have an obligation to study the Constitution and participate actively in the system of self-government it establishes. This is an obligation we owe not only to ourselves and to our posterity, but to the Framers, who risked everything for freedom, and to the brave men and women who throughout our history have preserved the Constitution, often at the cost of their lives. Let us rededicate ourselves to the values the Constitution embodies.

There’s a math problem somewhere in here...let me see...last census says about 300 million people in the U.S.; government estimates say about 12 to 20 million illegal aliens (from a multitude of countries) reside in America, taking advantage of it’s legal, law-abiding, tax-paying citizens...300 take away 12=288 million. 300 take away 20=280.

We outnumber illegals by about 280-288 million people.

I think we can take them on with a serious chance of victory, don’t you think? Enough of this “We can’t enforce the laws, we can’t deport illegals, what are you people thinking? There will be riots in the street!!” crapola! >:-(
