“Let me close by talking briefly about my respect and gratitude for the contributions of Hispanic-Americans to the culture, economy and security of the country I have served all my adult life. I represent Arizona where Spanish was spoken before English was, and where the character and prosperity of our state owes a great deal to the many Arizonans of Hispanic descent who live there,” McCain said.

Way to go juan!
Vive La Raza, Mi Amigo Juanito De La Amnestia!!!!!!!
Maybe the indigenous Indians peoples will take offense since they were their before the Mexicans.
Wow... this is who the Republican Party nominated for the presidency? This is not Mexico, no matter how badly the Mexicans want it to be. Arizona is part of the United States, which speaks English! By his logic, we should all be speaking Iriquois or Cherokee (or any number of native American religions)
How’s his Aztec?
More McAmnesty BS:
“I and many other colleagues twice attempted to pass comprehensive immigration legislation to fix our broken borders; ensure respect for the laws of this country; recognize the important economic necessity of immigrant laborers; apprehend those who came here illegally to commit crimes; and deal practically and humanely with those who came here, as my distant ancestors did, to build a better, safer life for their families, without excusing the fact they came here illegally or granting them privileges before those who have been waiting their turn outside the country. Many Americans, with good cause, did not believe us when we said we would secure our borders, and so we failed in our efforts.”
I represent Arizona where Spanish was spoken before English was,
Way to go Juan! Make sure that you lose BIG time, okay?
Aye carumba.
Viva Azatlan!, Juan.
If you are a Native American, you should be rightfully indignant for being ignored. But, hey, this is politics....
Just when I start to think I’m gonna vote for McNut...he goes and does something like this.
Please McCain, I beg to stop trying to lose the election.
The message he sends is atrocious, but the statement is factually correct.
You and me both.
This guy drives me nuts!
He gave the same speech today at LULAC that he did before NALEO including the line about Spanish being spoken in AZ before English. I wonder what kind of message he is trying to send with this line.
it’s a fact!
Interesting that AZ passed a proposition in 2006 with 75% of the vote making English the official language of AZ.
