John McCain Warns Illegal Immigration Enforcement Could Lead to Riots
The National Ledger ^ | Jun 3, 2007 | John W Lillpop

Just when the dust was beginning to settle following President Bush's latest assault on common sense, in which he accused conservatives of "spreading fear" by being honest about amnesty, Senator John McCain decided that fear mongering was not such a bad tactic after all. In fact, McCain decided that fear mongering was essential in trying to sell his amnesty snake oil to a skeptical and increasingly suspicious public.

On June 2, McCain rolled out his fear-based defense of amnesty on the campaign trail in Le Mars, Iowa. Responding to a question about deportation of illegal aliens, McCain delivered the following dilly: "In case you hadn't noticed, the thousands of people who have been relegated to ghettos have risen up and burned cars in France,'' McCain said. "They've got huge problems in France. They have tremendous problems. The police can't even go into certain areas in the suburbs of Paris. I don't want that in the suburbs of America.''

In the weeks after Katrina there were several stories about neighborhood defense groups.

One story described a bunch of guys who were armed and serious, and had done things like rigging beer can “alarms” on the front porches on their block. The guys described one daytime encounter which had turned out very badly for the perpatrators.

And there also was the widely circulated photo of another group, showing about 20 middle-class neighborhood guys with their hardware and a huge warning sign telling looters to stay out or else. One would imagine that neighborhood stayed pretty safe.

Gee, I had no idea that enforcing the law should only be attempted only so long as the criminal doesn’t get mad about it.

Maybe we should build a bunch of these.

Deport the workers and their families will follow.

Law abiding citizens do not riot. McCain and his pansy bunch know that.

It’s really a sad state of the nation when elected “lawmakers” choose above all to defend alien lawbreakers, rioters, and looters over and in spite of the objections of law abiding citizens.

Washington is like the diseased heart of America and politicians are the parasites destroying that heart.

I think he is right, at least about the possibility of riots. I am sure they will riot, especially in the major cities. They have the media eating out of their hands already so I am sure they will put on a impressive show to frighten people. All the same it not a good reason to let them stay.

Rioting worked in the ‘60s. Our failure to stand up to what amounts to disorganized terrorism is why we find ourselves in our current predicament.

Let me correct that for you.

Law abiding citizens NORMALLY do not riot.

This could be the trigger that changes all that.

"Why would illegals riot? They're here to make money. Rioting is the fastest way to putting an end to their chance at any income."

Shirley you jest. They will riot because they will blindly follow the incitements of their leftist activist leaders. They always do, especially if they're uneducated, restless and dissatisfied with their lot in life.

They're not soley here to "make money" although this is what they consciously think. The illegals are pawns. They're are here along with the connivance of various central and south american national leaders to invade and reconfigure this country and to get rid of riff-raff in their own countries.

Rioting will not "put an end" to the illegals (also legals) chances at income. Our authorities will look the other way. When tens of thousands take to the streets to demonstrate or destroy, what are the chances of lost income for more than a handful?

Besides, you're assuming that all rioters have "an income". Odds are that they DON'T have a steady income or are on welfare.....or have a government or social welfare job that allows them to take off from work whenever they want to take to the streets.

We freepers have seen these leeches demonstrating in DC many times.

The biggest danger is the fact that most people don't believe riotous demonstrations can happen any more.....or that the police can control them. They forget history, such as the Democrat convention riot in Chicago. Some heads were broken there, but PC won't allow that any more.

In short, we're at the mercy of rioters led by socialist leaders inciting the invading hordes.

And whose side are our peerless leaders such as Senator Mr. McGoo and the MSM taking?

Don't ask, don't tell.

And if they riot send in the national guard with orders to shoot back if fired upon. They think this is a third world country, then lets treat em the same as they would at home.

You come here illegally, and then threaten more illegal activity if you don’t get your way... screw that.

The truth about the photo you posted, is that every Bubba I know in Arkansas looks and feels this way..So in light of John McCain's statement, there is a lot of comfort in that :)

Not enforcing the law is going to lead to a civil war.
