Arizona Rep. J.D. Hayworth said Saturday that the pro-illegal immigration demonstrations that have swept the nation in the last two weeks send a message of "intimidation" to the general public, which overwhelmingly supports tougher measures on border security.
"To those who say this is simply freedom of expression, I would beg to differ," Hayworth told Westwood One radio host Monica Crowley. "Because under-girding this is the intimation of intimidation."
The Arizona Republican complained: "When you see the Mexican flags and other flags - rather than American flags - being hoisted at these demonstrations, you essentially are getting this message: 'Yes, we are here illegally. No, we do not believe this to be your country. We do not believe in your laws . . . and we don't believe you're going to do anything about it.'"
Hayworth rejected comparisons between the immigration protests and the 1960s civil rights movement, saying the new demonstrations are "totally different."
Back then, he said: "United States citizens were lawfully petitioning their government and assembling for the redress of grievances - specifically that lawful, legal citizens were denied their rights because of the color of their skin." "What you have at these new demonstrations are non-citizens asking for special rights," Hayworth told Crowley.
I've seen the "pundits" peddling the same phoney ass polls the past 2 days. None of them mentioned the many polls before that that have shown 78-84% want the borders shut and illegals booted. LOL! "Republicans" turning into lying liberals. Nice....
Say WHAT?? Their own governors??? And reform the existing Democrat Pary? LMAO Why does everything blow back into the demos' faces? heh-heh
---It simply means that we now have the numbers, the political will and the organizational skills to direct our own destinies and not be subservient to the White and Jewish power structures. ---
As Tweety Bird used to say, "I've got a bad, bad feeling about this."
FINALLY someone is standing up!
...think he means it? :(
ping
J.D.? Sure he means it.
---Two solid democrat voting blocks but the illegals aren't happy.---
That's because they view themselves as revolutionaries. I predict the market for Che Guevarra t-shirts will be very strong in California among Mexican youth and white college kids trying to fit in.
I don't recall seeing those polls that you mention.
At the very least he should replace McCain (D-AZ.).
Thanks JD, there still are a few good men left in Washington!
They won't. The people still believe that our elected officials will well and faithfully represent their interests in this regard. Silly people.
You've seen them. Here's a newish one, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1607932/posts
JD sounds like one of the few whose testicles have actually dropped.
All Bush would have to do to go up in the polls is come out against illegal immigration harder. The lefties and socialists in Mexico and the United States will NEVER give him a molecule of credit for being nice, so whats the point? At least the "angry racist white people" will think better of him.

A much under-reported poll ...
I personally think that should change to 'McCain (MSM-AZ)'
This is truly scary. The pres of LULAC here stated on t.v. that "Reagan said in a speech to Germany in the 80's to '...tear down that wall' and we are saying to Bush 'Tear down that wall'".
Gimme a break. Those polls are phonier than $99 dollar bills.
