McCain on Arizona Your-Papers Law: Fine Cause Immigrants “Are Intentionally Causing Accidents”
In case anyone missed the McCain madness; from Media Matters:
During an episode of The O’Reilly Factor, host Bill O’Reilly asked Sen. John McCain if the new Arizona immigration bill would result in racial profiling. In a bizarre argument, McCain retorted: “drivers of cars with illegals in it that are intentionally causing accidents on the freeway.”
O’REILLY: Now, next week, the governor is going to sign, we believe, a very stringent state law that gives the police in Arizona very, very broad authority to question people. And a lot of people say it’s going to be racial profiling. You’re going to look for Hispanics, question them, to see if they’re here legally or not. And it’s just not fair. And you saywhy?
MCCAIN: I say that the federal responsibilities have not been fulfilled. Therefore, the states are acting — the state of Arizona is acting and doing what they feel they need to do in light of the fact that the federal government is not fulfilling its fundamental responsibility to secure our borders. Our borders must be secure.
O’REILLY: But what about the racial profiling? You know that’s going to happen has to happen.
MCCAIN: I hope — I would be very sorry that if some of that happens. And I regret it, but I also regret the — really, it’s not just the murder of Robert Krantz. It’s the people whose homes and property are being violated. It’s the drive-by that — the drivers of cars with illegals in it that are intentionally causing accidents on the freeway. Look, our border is not secured. Our citizens are not safe.

Maybe John’s been mixing up his meds?
I’m sure ‘Canary John’s’ papers are in complete order, since he was not born in the USA, but Panama.
He’s white! He could be born in Kenya and he’d be A-OK with the NAZI ARIZONA PARTY in power in Arizona.
We are responsible for the massive challenge of illegal immigration. We looked the other way for too many years. But blaming the poor dishwasher for it? That’s out of line, indignite, and racist. We need to fix this with comprehensive reform that allows for dignity on both sides of the border. Then after we reform, we will also need reform for the racists NAZIs living among us because they want a GESTAPO life in Free Country! They need to be marginalized as they are danger to all freedom! Rehab! Rehab!
If the poor dishwasher is living anywhere in the U.S. illegally, then the dishwasher is part of the problem. It is costing U.S. citizens millions of dollars each year to support illegal immigrants. It is not racist to stop someone when there is reasonable cause or suspicion. I drive a sports car, I was pulled over for ‘speeding.’ However, the car beside me was going the exact same speed, because it was exactly parallel to my car, yet, I was given a speeding ticket. Why? Because, I was driving a sports car and the other car was a sedan. Is that profiling someone who drives a sports car? Profiling takes many forms. I live in a predominately Caucasian community. Several months ago suspicious activity in a home was reported to police. When police made their investigation, it was determined the rented home was being used for an illegal immigrant drop house–several illegal immigrants were arrested. Is it racial profiling to investigate a house in a predominately Caucasian neighborhood when it is reported the occupants of the house with the suspicious activity were hispanic?
While you chide McCain for fumbling his comment about drive bys (drive-by shootings) and racially instigated car accidents, both are rampant in Arizona, and the statistics reveal the majority are caused by illegal immigrants. Is that racial profiling?
If every arrest of illegal immigrants is considered racial profiling then what are those who are legal and targeted by the illegal immigrants supposed to do–allow themselves to be killed by drive-by shootings and intentional car accidents, mayhem in the streets, etc?
