You'd need some really strong rope.

KING: Joining us now is Congressman Duncan Hunter. He's the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, also the man who represents California's 52nd Congressional District in San Diego, ground zero, if you will, in the immigration debate in this country right now.
Congressman, as you well know, the Senate has passed its immigration bill. It includes a guest worker program that would allow illegal immigrants to get on a path to citizenship in this country. Everyone is now calling -- in the Republican Party -- calling on the House to see if it can compromise with the president.
Can you accept an immigration bill that has a guest worker program that gives citizenship ultimately to those who enter this country illegally?
REP. DUNCAN HUNTER (R), CALIFORNIA: Well, I don't think it's a matter of us accepting provisions like that. I think it's a matter of whether or not the Border Patrol can accept a provision like that, because the border right now is wide open. Except for the fence that we built in San Diego, you have a non-enforceable border across that 2,000 miles between here and Brownsville, Texas.
And that means that any perceived benefits of the -- what is called an amnesty in disguise, or the five-year amnesty or the two- year amnesty that comes out of the Senate, if that is advertised to the world, you will have another wave of 10 million or 12 million people coming across that border illegally who think they're going to come across and catch the third amnesty.

“This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this.” —Ted Kennedy, 1986
“Now it is time for action. 2007 is the year we must fix our broken system.” —Ted Kennedy, 2007
Yup. A**hole.
Oh thank God! At least he wasn’t taking the high road. ;*)
Every 21 years like clockwork! This will undoubtedly be the last amnesty.
" So Jimmy Carter is a nice guy, hasn't looked at this one too close, and is fairly naive on this, as he's been on a lot of things."
He also said Carter was absolutely wrong at calling anti-illegal immigration legislation as being "racist".
I know...I read it all. This is also an old interview. It still irks me when our guys fall all over themselves giving credibility to scum. Then again, I’m a little touchy these days. ;*)
It won’t be America after that.
Exactly what I meant by my comment. ;*(
You'd need some really strong rope.
KING: Among the critics, sir, of the House legislation is the former president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, who said this, this past week, “Competing legislation from the House of Representatives has strong racist overtones.”
TOO MANY JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!!!!!!!!!
Duncan Hunter needs to drop his China criticism [even though it is true] because it is getting him nowhere fast. He needs to put illegal immigration front and center -— especially with this Amnesty Bill on the table. He needs to focus like a laser beam on this and only this if he is ever going to be the Republican nomination. Every question should be directed back to this issue —— and this issue only.
Duncan Hunter is greatness.
Really? Ya think? Why? That way he could be referred to as a one trick pony much like some refer to Tancredo.
Hunter put those words in for effect, not compliments. ie: What’s a nice guy like carter doing letting 400 mezicans cook to death in the desert
Airplane cable.
Oh no. China is going to be in the headlines a TON twixt now and 2008. Keep the focus on them as CHEATERs.
Lots of folks lost poor fifi from CHina’s malfeasance. People in S. America are finding chinese poison in their toothpaste. Even the Bush admin is going after their currency. And the rustbelt don’tlike hearing how many manufacturing jobs are being shipped to China. In addition, we just arrested some MORE freaking spys recently.
“Duncan Hunter needs to drop his China criticism [even though it is true] because it is getting him nowhere fast.”
People are pissed at China right now after the whole food poisoning thing. The things Hunter has been saying about China are the things that people want to hear right now, but the msm won’t let them. The msm would rather focus on the three RINOs.
I remember that line, but had forgotten who said it!!!
Go Hunter!
