In an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report” on Wednesday, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) discussed the current state of affairs surrounding the issue of immigration.
Flake, the guest of the show’s occasionally occurring “Center Seat” segment, admitted the rise of a populist movement opposing any immigration reform movement that included a version of amnesty. However, he admitted to being perplexed as to why there’s such an opposition stating there’s a need for not only low-skill labor “particularly in the agricultural areas and hospitality areas,” but high-skill labor of “those in the STEM fields.”
Partial transcript as follows:
STEPHEN HAYES, Weekly Standard: You indicated that you're still for comprehensive immigration reform but that nothing can happen in this environment. What do you mean by "in this environment"?
FLAKE: As long as we have crisis like this with kids coming across, you've got to deal with this immediate crisis.
HAYES: Immigration reform wasn't' going to pass before this sort of blew up or before it was on the front pages, was it? Go back three months.
FLAKE: Three months ago we did have a chance. I think the Cantor loss really was the death knell for it. Up until that time I thought we still had a shot at it. But with this crisis, no chance, obviously.

The Cantor loss caused their entire plans to fail. A massive conspiracy to push immigration reform was all planned out. The children at the border were all part of the conspiracy. Now the entire conspiracy is falling apart without the strong support of the crony GOP-E. And it has forced the Ann Coulter Crony GOP-E wing to use every trick in the book to remain in power.
Jeff Flake is Amnesty Liberal...and a flake
I found it hard listening to the BS this guy was spreading. Sorry, but all I heard was Capital Hill excuses/rhetoric. Without a solid fence/wall that is patrolled 24/7, there will FOREVER be illegals getting in. This is so far out of control...and the POLs in D.C. are in NO control.
This is my grand parent's story. Both passed through Ellis Island 1900-1910. Grandpa came first — he was an overseer on a big Swedish farm. He had a sponsor in the Rockford area that employed him as a farmer. After three years’ work around Winnebago County , grandpa brought grandma — a peasant girl from the same landed estate in Sweden — to the United States. They were married, started a family, learned English and became Americans. They were NOT Swedish-Americans . . . they were first and foremost, AMERICANS.
Their four kids: Eva, Ebba, Agnes, and John were Americans. Their kids: John, Andrea, Mary, Linda, Robert, Doug, Gary, Bob. and Trina are Americans. We expect the new “immigrants” to work for the privilege of calling themselves Americans and learn English and assimilate just like our grand parents did.
If you owe your allegiance to some other country and are here to sponge off the work of legal immigrants and native born Americans, there is one word to describe you . . . parasites. Moreover, to get here you lied and cheated; you jumped to the head of the line (so to speak) and you've insulted all those immigrants who have come to America LEGALLY. And you believe it's unfair Americans should resent you and want you deported back to where you originated?
Really?
Mexico has some of the toughest immigration laws on the books and Mexico enforces them, including the use of deadly force, on its southern border. Yet, America's borders don't count. Think again.
I know what you mean. I live in VA but still sent McFlake numerous contributions because I believed his lies. His entire Senate campaign was a lie. I still get emails from him. My responses prove that no one I’m his office reads anything from Americans. Maybe I should send them in Spanish.
Flake is SUCH a tool.
Crossing the US/Mexican border while the USBP/ICE are babysitting & doing diaper changing duty. Make no mistake when the next terror attack happens the a**holes that are defending the invasion across this nations southern border will be the first to demand that Americans not react with anger but “understanding” .
Ladies & Gentlemen we no longer have a government that is honest but instead what we have is an “Ongoing Criminal Enterprise “ to be blunt the govt is dirty & crooked from the top down both parties & is need of a house cleaning that would make one of Joe Stalin’s legendary purges look like a Sunday school class of kindergartners singing Jesus Loves Me . Until such a house cleaning occurs the situation will not improve.
I’m ready to flush.
Does Flake ever go on talk radio in Arizona?
McCain and Flake have invite only townhalls to promote amnesty.

McCain needs a shill in the AG, SoS or Gov office in 2014.
