WhiteManistan polled by Reuters
The equivalent of an Internet troll posting, Reuters polled a whole “1,443 Americans over the age of 18,” coming up with the statistic that a majority — about 53 percent of the citizenry wants illegals deported.
Not where I’m from. And cleaving to that stupid notion resulted in the destruction of the GOP in the state.
The piece, here, has John McCain trying to explain things to his WhiteManistan constituency in Arizona:
Republican Senator John McCain, one of the eight senators in the group, had his own encounter with citizens angered by illegal immigration on Tuesday when residents of his state of Arizona complained bitterly at a town hall meeting about the lack of security on the border with Mexico.
One man asked why troops had not been deployed to the border.
“Why didn’t the army go down there and stop them? Because the only thing that stops them I’m afraid to say, and it’s too damn bad, is a gun,” the man said.
Another resident, Keith Smith, got into a testy exchange with McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential candidate whose views on immigration have fluctuated over the years.
“Cut off their welfare and all their stuff and they’ll go back,” Smith said, referring to undocumented workers.
McCain had been trying to explain his position: “You’re not telling these people the truth. They mow our lawns, they care for our babies, they clean … that’s what those people do,” he said.
They pick the fruit and vegetables in the fields here, are the gardeners, the janitors, the house cleaners, and they’re not on welfare.
Why can’t they send “the troops” to the border? Get the guns, Homer! Zeb Colter for President, 2016! This isn’t the land of debris, it’s the land of the free, dammit!
And anyone here think WhiteManistan is too harsh a mock?
