Does McPain know about this?

It is HIS STATE?

Watch this guy - he’s playing word games ... sure he’ll “build a fence” ... that’s what they all say and it NEVER HAPPENS. Then he meets with “La Raca”, the race, a radical Mexian group and promises to make IMMIGRATION REFORM a PRIORITY. McPain has NOT given up on AMNESTY. He tells this dangerous group to “trust him”. LOL!

Home invasion is a very popular sport in my town, too.

I rember as a kid, growing up in a "My Three Sons" neighborhood in southwest Michigan in the 60's, we never worried about such things. If we were coming home late, our parents would leave the door unlocked for us. We thought nothing of leaving our windows open at night, to let the cool night air in.

Now, I keep my doors and windows locked at all times, except when I use a window fan, and then I will put a clamp on the window slide, so it can't be opened so easily. It would give me enough time to get to my pistol, if some nut tried to force his way in through the fan.

Some of my neighbors have installed security bars, but it's expensive, and makes you feel like you are in jail in your own home.

gangs have to make a living. And if you can’t identify and deport the illegals in the gangs, you have to put up with the kidnappings, hostage situations and the human smuggling.

Many of these ‘kidnappings’ are of rival gangs stealing illegals who were being held in safe houses after coming over the border illegally. The original gang was blackmailing the families of the new illegals even though those illegals paid the gangs coyote to bring them to PHX. But a rival gang finds the safe house and overwhelms the place and poaches the chickens (so to speak).

It’s all very nice stuff. And that is why the people of Phoenix finally decided to get rid of the Sanctuary Bullcrap and made the message clear to the Democrat Mayor who officially repealed it.

Joe Arpiao said on national tv this morning that he has arrested 14,000 illegal aliens so far this year in Maricopa County (Phoenix), that is if I heard him correctly. And, the ‘elected officials’ are fighting him every step of the way.

A couple came running up to my car last year, and I immediately clicked the ‘lock’ on all my doors. They started banging on the window, and I drove off.

Now, if they had held a gun to my window, I would have wished I had gotten that Conceal Permit.........

I thought the FBI handled kidnapping cases.

Scare. He supports them for whatever reason. Blackmail of him and/or Cindy? Bribery - we saw that even though Cindy is wealthy, she nevertheless embezzled from her own charity? Hatred of the US or our way of life? Involvement with drugs? Manchurian Candidate? Mental illness? What else could it be?

“Thank you John McCain for allowing your state to be taken over by Mexican criminals.”

Yes, McCain needs to move on from VIET NAM. He's clearly insulated from this. McPain sickens me. Recently he met with that “radical” group La Raz, (the raz). He asked them to “trust him” because immigration reform is at the TOP of his list after the fence that will NEVER be built is NEVER happens. He is still pursuing amnesty! Amazing, isn't it?
