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 like him, too - he's a good man.
Wish he were in mine!
Yep, McCain is a rabid dog.. I group him in with Hellary, Fat Ted, sKerry et al.. he's not even a rino, he's pure rat.
When I hear my friends from Cambridge and Boston say they are fed up, I know things are reaching a boiling point.
Beyond that, agreement ends.
The issue, on which we disagree, is what is the solution to the problem.
I linked you to two polls in which the respondents said guest workers were the solution.
People....Democrats, Independents and Republicans should call their Representatives and tell them if they don't get on the American side of this issue....they will get no votes and no money!
Maybe Americans come together on this one issue!
I'm calling my Republican Headquarters tomorrow and telling them who I will vote for.
He is condescending and obnoxious, with an over-abundance of ego.
You've got that right! Whichever way the wind blows - and he's got a lot of wind.
And you're an idiot.
Somebody needs to buy a history book for these people... did they ever read about Cortes at Tenochtitlán?
Or are we supposed to believe that they are all of pure Native American blood?
Give me a break.. most of them are descended from the Spanish, who did far worse things to the Native Americans than any Englishman did.
That may be true..
but he's doing a lot more than the President or McCain to secure our borders.
I feel sorry for you.
I know it is awful to be you. Sorry.
I know it is awful to be you. Sorry.
I know it is awful to be you. Sorry.
What does the immense success of "La Gran Marcha" mean to Mexicanos and other Latinos? 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.
Career politicians are no damned good, none of them! But *We the People* keep voting them back in office and they come to believe they are royalty.
When J.D. stands up front at the Mexican border, leading the way (point man they call them in the Marine Corps - military) of the Minutemen, I'll applaud him.
