Lindsey Graham is a misguided, insulting dunce. If SC was inundated by illegals, his love song would sound much different.
You know AZ Carolyn. The problem with this whole debacle, is that most Midwestern, Northern, and Eastern lawmakers just don't get it, because they've never lived it. They read, and on occasion make a tour on the borders...making them instant experts. None of this happened overnight, nor should all the blame fall on the head of GWB. GWB's illegal immigration responsibility came to life, and developed legs on 9-11. He was obligated, to slam the borders closed tight. He didn't, but neither did any other administration since the early 80s, when the invasion of America first started, that crossing five or six administrations of do nothings. Anyone that discussed or raised the issue, was labeled a racist, a typical passage from the democrat’s play book.
Did previous administration do anything...NO. Going back in time, with common knowledge, Mexicans were openly selling false birth certificates, drivers license, social security cards right in front of, and within the shade of L.A.P.D.'s Parker Center. Right across the street from L.A. City Hall, one block away from the USDOJ building, and a few blocks from Roybal Federal Court House. They expanded and moved their counterfeiting operation to McArther Park on 7th and Olivera Street, where the 18th Street and MS-13 gangs were born. Local news crews w/cameras showed on TV, at the ease of obtaining counterfeit anything your heart desired...for a very, very small fee of course. Did local, state, and the federal government’s FBI know about these illegal activities, you bet they did. Why didn't they act??? If you find out, I'm a reasonable person, please let me know.
I know you are right -- but, for the life of me, I can't figure the McCain angle.
