GANG of 8's Sen. John McCain's Long History with the Mexican Fascist Movement of LA RAZA





Columnist Michelle Malkin posted equally critical comments this morning on her blog HotAir.com.

Noting that McCain has attempted to distance himself from the comprehensive immigration reform bill he co-sponsored with Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy, Malkin said the appointment of Hernandez “tells me that John McCain is as weak on border security now as he ever was.”

 


 

McCAIN'S LONG HISTORY WITH THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA

Lou Dobbs

Tonight Tuesday July 8, 2008

Sens. McCain and Obama are fiercely courting the Latino vote. Last month they spoke to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials; today it’s the League of United Latin American Citizens’ national convention; and this weekend they’re set to address the National Council of La Raza, one of the most radical socioethnocentric interest groups in the country.

INTRODUCTION TO MEXICAN LA RAZA FASCISM – THE FASTEST GROWING POLITICAL PARTY in AMERICA WHICH IS FUNDED WITH TAX DOLLARS BY BARACK OBAMA.

FIFTEEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LA RAZA “THE RACE”

by Michelle Malkin

Only in America could critics of a group called "The Race" be labeled racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing identity chauvinists, whose aggressive activists and supine abettors have succeeded in redefining all opposition as "hate."

Both Barack Obama and John McCain will speak this week in San Diego at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza, the Latino organization whose name is Spanish for, yes, "The Race." Can you imagine Obama and McCain paying homage to a group of white people who called themselves that? No matter. The presidential candidates and the media have legitimized "The Race" as a mainstream ethnic lobbying group and marginalized its critics as intolerant bigots. The unvarnished truth is that the group is a radical ethnic nationalist outfit that abuses your tax dollars and milks PC politics to undermine our sovereignty.

*

Here are 15 things you should know about "The Race":

*

15. "The Race" supports driver's licenses for illegal aliens.

*

14."The Race" demands in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding U.S. citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.

*

13. "The Race" vehemently opposes cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state and federal authorities.

*

12. "The Race" opposes a secure fence on the southern border.

*

11. "The Race" joined the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in a failed lawsuit attempt to prevent the feds from entering immigration information into a key national crime database -- and to prevent local police officers from accessing the data.

*

10. "The Race" opposed the state of Oklahoma's tough immigration-enforcement-first laws, which cut off welfare to illegal aliens, put teeth in employer sanctions and strengthened local-federal cooperation and information sharing.

*

9. "The Race" joined other open-borders, anti-assimilationists and sued to prevent Proposition 227, California's bilingual education reform ballot initiative, from becoming law.

*

8. "The Race" bitterly protested common-sense voter ID provisions as an "absolute disgrace."

*

7. "The Race" has consistently opposed post-9/11 national security measures at every turn.

*

6. Former "Race" president Raul Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton's Hispanic outreach adviser, said this: "U.S. English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks." He was referring to U.S. English, the nation's oldest, largest citizens' action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States. "The Race" also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and advised the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while avoiding the terms "illegal" and "amnesty."

*

5. "The Race" gives mainstream cover to a poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA). The late GOP Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized the organization as "a radical racist group … one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West."

*

4. "The Race" is currently leading a smear campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and has called for TV and cable news networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves -- in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up their foes. The New York Times reported that current "Race" president Janet Murguia believes "hate speech" should "not be tolerated, even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment rights."

*

3. "The Race" sponsors militant ethnic nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars (at least $8 million in federal education grants). The schools include Aztlan Academy in Tucson, Ariz., the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, Ariz., Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul, Minn., and La Academia Semillas del Pueblo in Los Angeles, whose principal inveighed: "We don't want to drink from a White water fountain, we have our own wells and our natural reservoirs and our way of collecting rain in our aqueducts. We don't need a White water fountain … ultimately the White way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own destruction."

*

2. "The Race" has perfected the art of the PC shakedown at taxpayer expense, pushing relentlessly to lower home loan standards for Hispanic borrowers, reaping millions in federal "mortgage counseling" grants, seeking special multimillion-dollar earmarks and partnering with banks that do business with illegal aliens.

*

1. "The Race" thrives on ethnic supremacy -- and the elite sheeple's unwillingness to call it what it is. As historian Victor Davis Hanson observes: "[The] organization's very nomenclature 'The National Council of La Raza' is hate speech to the core. Despite all the contortions of the group, Raza (as its Latin cognate suggests) reflects the meaning of 'race' in Spanish, not 'the people' -- and that's precisely why we don't hear of something like 'The National Council of the People,' which would not confer the buzz notion of ethnic, racial and tribal chauvinism."

*

The fringe is the center. The center is the fringe. Viva La Raza.

CAMPAIGN '08
McCain shifts his message toward Latino immigrants


He says their needs matter as much as border security and helping businesses.

Los Angeles Times Staff Writers
 
July 9, 2008WASHINGTON — John McCain, angling to win a bigger share of the fast-growing Latino vote, is taking the risky step of placing an immigration overhaul at the center of his appeal.The presumed Republican presidential nominee, who trails Barack Obama among Latinos, had been focused on assuring conservatives that securing the U.S. border with Mexico would be his immigration priority. But McCain has adopted a message that gives equal weight to helping employers and immigrant workers and their families. That suggests that as president he would back the kind of legislation that has roiled many in his party -- most notably, a legalization plan for undocumented workers. McCain's approach was on display Tuesday when he told the League of United Latin American Citizens gathering here that he would deal "practically and humanely with those who came here, as my distant ancestors did, to build a better, safer life for their families." And in a new series of advertisements -- in Spanish and English -- and a five-minute video, McCain talks about his long ties to Latinos and says immigrants' needs are "as important" as helping businesses and securing the border. "We will solve it with legislation that's practical and fair," McCain says of immigration in the video, according to a script obtained by The Times. "We will abide by the law in every way. We will secure our borders first and ask border-state governors to certify that the border is secure." Then we will address the burden U.S. employers are enduring by creating a temporary-worker program, so employers can hire and people can have jobs. And as important, we will be sensitive to the immigrant workers and their families who are doing the work that must be done," he adds. McCain steers clear of directly calling for a pathway to citizenship. But his subtle language matches that of legalization advocates. The video, filmed recently in New Mexico, may be shown publicly next week, when McCain is scheduled to address another large Latino group, the National Council of La Raza, which is meeting in San Diego. His move to highlight immigrants' needs underscores the importance of Latino voters -- particularly in the key battleground states of Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and Florida -- and suggests that whoever wins the presidency will be committed to giving some kind of legal status to many of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants now in the U.S. Obama, the presumed Democratic nominee, has promised to support an immigration overhaul that would include a legalization plan and enhanced border security. On Tuesday, Obama, who also addressed the Latin American citizens group in Washington, accused McCain of abandoning his support for a path to citizenship. He noted that during the GOP primary season, McCain had said he would not vote for the legalization plan he once championed because "people want the border secured first." Obama suggested that Latino voters should not trust McCain as a loyal friend."Sen. McCain used to buck his party on immigration," Obama said. "Well, for eight long years, we've had a president who made all kinds of promises to Latinos . . . but failed to live up to them in the White House, and we can't afford that anymore. We need a president who isn't going to walk away from something as important as comprehensive reform when it becomes politically unpopular." Obama signaled that part of his Latino outreach would be to draw links between his life and the immigrant story. He likened new immigrants' desires to those of his father, who came to the U.S. from Kenya. The Illinois senator also suggested he might benefit from the political fervor in the Latino community, demonstrated when hundreds of thousands took to the streets in Los Angeles and other cities to protest critics of a legalization plan. "During the immigration marches back in 2006, we had a saying: 'Today, we march. Tomorrow, we vote,' " Obama said. "Well, that was the time to march. And now comes the time to vote."Surveys show Obama holds a strong lead among Latino voters, 59% to 29%, according to the most recent Gallup Poll. That puts McCain far below the 40% President Bush won four years ago. Strategists in both parties believe that Republican support among Latino voters suffered when congressional conservatives blocked compromise legislation to overhaul immigration law -- forged mainly by McCain and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) -- in 2006 and 2007. And McCain distanced himself from the compromise in the heat of a competitive GOP primary in which immigration emerged as a top concern among the party's overwhelmingly white, conservative base. Now, however, he rarely misses an opportunity to brag about his role in the debate -- even invoking the name of Kennedy, a figure reviled by conservatives but beloved by many Latinos. GOP strategists believe that Obama too has some vulnerabilities on the issue. They say that he played a minor role in the negotiations last year, despite efforts to describe himself as a more central player, and that he voted for amendments that sponsors believed helped stymie the compromise. Although McCain continues to talk of securing the borders first, he does not rule out a legalization program. On Tuesday, after pledging to work for better border enforcement, he was quick to add: "But we must not make the mistake of thinking that our responsibility to meet this challenge will end with that accomplishment. We have economic and humanitarian responsibilities as well, and they require no less dedication from us. "McCain has sought a delicate balance in recent weeks, but his shifting rhetoric has prompted some complaints from conservatives. After a recent closed-door meeting with Latino leaders in Chicago, one anti-illegal-immigration activist in attendance accused the Arizona senator of making different promises to different groups, and argued that strict border enforcement was unworkable if existing undocumented workers were given a path to citizenship."He's being two-faced," said Rosanna Pulido, director of the Illinois Minuteman Project. McCain's new ad campaign not only embraces his past work on immigration, but also distances him from the conservatives who opposed him.In the video, he refers to the harsh rhetoric that many in his party used to oppose the legislation, saying that "too often, new immigrants have been treated as objects of fear instead of symbols of hope." Some ads, such as a Spanish-language radio spot released last week, feature McCain's Latino Naval Academy roommate, Frank Gamboa, who has recorded messages in both languages extolling his longtime friend's virtues. Though he did not directly mention immigration, Gamboa noted that McCain "has stood for our community even in the most difficult of times."Strategists expect some ads will contain footage of McCain's trip last week to Mexico, where he visited cultural sites with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush -- whose wife is Mexican American and who polls show is hugely popular among Latino voters in his home state.

War Without Borders

In Drug War, Tribe Feels Invaded by Both Sides


SELLS, Ariz. — An eerie hush settles in at sundown on the Tohono O’odham Nation, which straddles 75 miles of border with Mexico.

Few residents leave their homes. The roads crawl with the trucks of Border Patrol agents, who stop unfamiliar vehicles, scrutinize back roads for footprints and hike into the desert wilds to intercept smugglers carrying marijuana on their backs and droves of migrants trying to make it north.

By the bad luck of geography, the only large Indian reservation on the embattled border is caught in the middle, emerging as a major transit point for drugs as well as people.

A long-insular tribe of 28,000 people and its culture are paying a steep price: the land is swarming with outsiders, residents are afraid to walk in the hallowed desert, and some members, lured by drug cartel cash in a place with high unemployment, are ending up in prison.

“People will knock on your door, flash a wad of money and ask if you can drive this bale of marijuana up north,” said Marla Henry, 38, chairwoman of Chukut Kuk district, which covers much of the border zone.

The tightening of border security to the east and west, which started in the 1990s and intensified after the Sept. 11 attacks, funneled more drug traffic through the Tohono O’odham reservation, federal officials said, and especially more marijuana, which is hard to slip through vehicle crossings because of its bulk.

A record 319,000 pounds of marijuana were seized on the reservation in 2009, up from 201,000 pounds the previous year, along with small amounts of cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine.

Hundreds of tribal members have been prosecuted in federal, state or tribal courts for smuggling drugs or humans, taking offers that reach $5,000 for storing marijuana or transporting it across the reservation. In a few families, both parents have been sent to prison, leaving grandparents to raise the children.

“People are afraid that if they say no, they’ll be threatened by the cartel,” Ms. Henry said.

If residents of remote villages tried to call the police, she said, help might not arrive for two hours or more.

At the same time, some residents are angry at the intrusion of hundreds of federal agents, including some who stay for a week at a time on bases in remote parts of the reservation. The surge in agents who cruise the roads has meant more checkpoints and tighter controls on a border that tribal members, 1,500 of whom live in Mexico, once freely crossed.

The once-placid reservation feels like a “militarized zone,” said Ned Norris Jr., the tribal chairman, who also says the tribe must cooperate to stem the cartels. “Drug smuggling is a problem we didn’t create, but now we’re having to deal with the consequences.”

Many residents say they live in fear of the smugglers and hordes of migrants who lurk around their homes, and also of being subjected to a humiliating search by federal agents.

The elderly avoid the desert, even in the daytime, because they might stumble upon a cache of marijuana or drug “mules” hiding in desert washes until dark.

“We can’t even go out to collect wood for the stove,” said Verna Miguel, 63, who was traumatized three years ago when a group of migrants forced her to stop on a road, beat her and stole her vehicle.

“We’ve always picked saguaro fruits and cholla buds,” Ms. Miguel said, using such desert products for consumption and rituals. “But now we don’t dare do that.”

Until recently, the reservation’s international border was porous, defended by three strands of barbed wire. Over the last two years, it has been lined with metal posts and Normandy-style barriers to stop the trucks that used to barrel through and head for Phoenix.

Federal officials describe the rise in drug seizures on the reservation as a sign of growing success on what had long been a vulnerable section of border. Barriers and surveillance have forced most of the smugglers to enter on foot rather than in vehicles and spend hours or days sneaking through the reservation, making them more vulnerable to detection, said Agent Robert Gilbert, chief of the Tucson sector of the Border Patrol.

But the large busts, here and elsewhere on the border, are also a measure of the continued trade and profits reaped by the cartels.

“The cartels use the profit from marijuana to purchase cocaine in Colombia and Peru and the ingredients for meth and heroin from other regions,” said Elizabeth W. Kempshall, special agent in charge of the Arizona office of the Drug Enforcement Administration. “So marijuana is the catalyst for the rest of the drug trade.”

The drug smugglers, mainly working for the Sinaloa Cartel, officials said, place scouts for days at a time on mountainsides, with night-vision goggles to monitor movements of the Border Patrol. The scouts communicate with Mexican or Indian guides using cellphones or two-way radios with rolling codes that cannot be intercepted, said Sgt. David Cray of the tribal police force, which has spent major amounts of money on border issues. During the day, the scouts hide in caves or under camouflage.

The Border Patrol has its own spotters and trucks with infrared video cameras that detect heat miles away. The tribe has agreed to electronic surveillance towers that in coming years will make a “virtual fence” across their lands.

Many agents spend their nights “cutting for sign,” a tracker’s term, making slow drives on dirt roads in search of footprints.

One recent chilly night, a Border Patrol spotter detected eight white dots on his screen moving steadily north, not meandering the way cows or wild mules do. With a laser beam he fixed their coordinates at a spot five miles from his mountaintop post.

Two agents in four-wheel-drive vehicles set out over a rutted ranch track, then hiked through half a mile of mesquite, cholla and prickly pear to intercept the group. Six escaped, but two Mexican men were captured with seven burlap packs, each filled with 50 pounds of marijuana that sells wholesale for $500 or more per pound.

For the agents, it was a good night’s work. “This is what we live for, stopping drugs,” said an agent who hiked in shortly after the bust to help bring in the smugglers and the contraband.

But many tribal members see the federal presence as a mixed blessing at best.

Ofelia Rivas, 53, of Meneger’s Dam Village is an Indian rights advocate and a rare border resident who agreed to speak to a reporter. She said that most families in border villages, including her own, had had a relative imprisoned for drug offenses, but that such individuals should not be blamed for the lack of legal jobs. Ms. Rivas has criticized tribal leaders for acquiescing to what she calls an oppressive federal occupation.

Federal law officials praise the tribe for its cooperation, and the Border Patrol has fielded community relations officers to minimize frictions.

Even Mr. Norris, the tribal chairman, said he had been stopped and questioned. “Quite frankly, the people are getting sick of it,” he said of the heavy outside presence. But he added that the smuggling was beyond the tribe’s ability to control.

“I hope in my lifetime we can go back to the way it used to be,” Mr. Norris said, “where people could go and walk in the daylight on our own land.”

Truly what else do you need to know about HOMELAND INSECURITY???????????

 At least five killed during Border Patrol pursuit in Arizona
 


 
By Cindy Carcamo

April 21, 2013,

TUCSON -- At least five people were killed and 17 injured when a van crashed during a Border Patrol pursuit, Pima County Rural/Metro Fire Chief Willie Treatch said Sunday.

The incident happened late Saturday between 10 and 10:30 p.m., he said, when a van carrying 22 people rolled over near the intersection of Interstate 10 and State Highway 83 in Vail, Ariz.

Five people died at the scene and 17 were hospitalized.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officials in the Tucson sector could not be immediately reached for comment. 

JOHN “McAMNESTY” McCain’s state of ARIZONA is the MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS’ GATEWAY to the American southwest.

“Because I sympathized with her, and the citizens of my state that were incredibly frustrated. We had a border patrol agent killed. We had a rancher who was killed by drug smugglers. People were not safe in their homes, in the southern part of our state.” McCain

 PHOENIX IS THE SECOND LARGEST CENTER FOR MEXICAN KIDNAPPING NEXT TO MEXICO CITY.

IT IS AMERICA’S BIGGEST CENTER FOR MEXICAN HOME INVASION.

“There are a hundred guides sitting on mountaintops right now in Arizona, guiding the drug cartels as they bring the drugs across the Arizona/Mexico border, up to Phoenix, where they are distributed throughout the nation.”

(JUAN WILLIAMS WAS McCAIN’S PAID LIAISON TO THE LA RAZA SUPREMACIST FASCIST MOVEMENT WHEN HE RAN FOR PRESIDENT)

 

John McCain: Issue of Immigration Stands between Latinos and GOP, Fox News Latino, May 17, 2012

JUAN WILLIAMS: Senator John McCain thanks for coming in for this Fox News Latino exclusive.

SEN. JOHN McCAIN (R-AZ):Thank you.

WILLIAMS: Senator, why do you keep saying that the Hispanic vote is up for grabs, when polls consistently show that President Obama has close to seventy percent support in the Latino community? (OBAMA HAS PROMISED ILLEGALS NO E-VERIFY TO EASE EVEN MORE INTO OUR JOBS AND KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED FOR HIS PAYMASTERS, DREAM ACTS, OPEN BORDERS, AMNESTY or at least CONTINUED NON-ENFORCEMENT!)

McCAIN: And he had very strong, strong support in 2008 as well. Because I think that there are many values, and things that we share, we Republicans: lower taxes, pro military, small business, you know how Hispanic or Latinos are small business people, Pro-life. There are many areas there that they would, in my view, would be naturally attracted to the Republican banner. And they in fact… George Bush, Bush II did well in his elections, with Hispanic voters. And, we all know what the answer is, and what the problem is. It’s the issue of immigration. And we have to treat it in a humane fashion, and we have to understand that with any new wave of immigrants that comes to our country, whether it be Irish, or Italian, Poles, whoever it is, Hispanics in America, or Latinos, have an allegiance to the people who are coming and that are still in the country they came from.

WILLIAMS: Well, let’s look at the likely GOP nominee stance. Mitt Romney, on immigration reform, opposes the Dream Act, opposes Pathways to Citizenship. In fact, he’s calling for self-deportation. He opposes guest worker programs, opposes tuition breaks for undocumented kids who are in the United States. Why would Hispanics vote for that candidate?

McCAIN: Well, first of all, as you described Mitt Romney is not the case in all due respect. He is solidly in favor of immigration reform. He knows that there are twelve million people (TRY 40 MILLION OLD MAN!) who are in this country illegally. He knows you have to address it. He has also stated, recently, and I’m happy to say, that we have to address it in a humane fashion. The issue of self-deportation, there are some Hispanics who have come back, but he doesn’t—gone back to the country that they, mainly ‘cause the economic conditions here. So he, he doesn’t—but he doesn’t think that’s the, the entire answer to the issue. As you know Marco Rubio and some others are working on a version of the Dream Act. And by the way also he does not oppose guest worker programs either, either for high tech, or for agricultural workers.

Look, Mitt Romney understands that we have a challenge with the Hispanic voter. I believe, as this campaign moves on, that you will see him addressing this issue of the need for immigration reform. We all know what we need to happen. Let me just, I have one more small point, I’m sorry for the long answer, but you are touching on one of the key issues of the 2012 Presidential campaign. We still do have a huge problem with drugs coming across our border. There are a hundred guides sitting on mountaintops right now in Arizona, guiding the drug cartels as they bring the drugs across the Arizona/Mexico border, up to Phoenix, where they are distributed throughout the nation. And the price of cocaine, by the way, on the street, has not gone up one penny, despite all of our drug efforts. That’s the best indicator as to how we’re doing on the, quote, war on drugs. So there’s a bigger problem than just illegal immigrants coming across our border. There are still drugs, and we’re creating a demand, and that’s, you know, a big part of the issue. And that, that can’t go on, Juan. It can’t.

WILLIAMS: Let me go back then.

McCAIN: Yeah.

WILLIAMS: With all due respect.

McCAIN: Sure.

WILLIAMS: You say he, he doesn’t oppose a guest worker program. He has refused to get involved in putting forward any guest worker program, and like you, Senator McCain…

McCAIN: Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: …He says, oh no, first we have to secure the border.

McCAIN: Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: Well, there are now more boots on the ground than ever, and…

McCAIN: We have made progress.

 

(MEXICO HAS MORE BILLIONAIRES THAN SAUDI ARABIA. THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD IS NO LONGER BILL GATES, IT IS MEXICAN CARLOS SLIM. YOU WON’T HEAR ABOUT THE LA RAZA SUPREMACIST MOVEMENT TALKING ABOUT MEXICO DOING SOMETHING FOR THEIR PEOPLE OTHER THAN EXPORTING THEM TO LOOT AMERICA!)

 

WILLIAMS: …DHS says they have put more money, in terms of technology and surveillance on the border. And yet, the entire immigration debate, during the Republican primaries, was cast in terms of drug dealers, human trafficking, not in terms of people simply seeking economic opportunity and a better life for their families.

McCAIN: Juan, most of the people now who come across, or large numbers of people who come across, are brought by coyotes. The young women are raped (BY THEIR FELLOW MEX COUNTRYMAN!), they’re put in drop houses in Phoenix, Arizona, where they are kept in the most unspeakable condition, and held for ransom. The human rights abuses, not to mention the tearing up of our wildlife refuges, which is taking place as well, by these drug dealers and others who are coming across. We have made progress (LEGALS ARE NOT ONLY FIGHTING THE MEX DRUG CARTELS BUT ALSO OBAMA’S SABOTAGE OF OUR BORDERS!), but we have by no means gotten our border secure. So obviously Americans want both. They want both a secure border, that’s an obligation of every country, but I think they also understand that we have a serious issue out there that needs to be addressed. And I think…

WILLIAMS: But Senator, I think you know…

McCAIN: Yeah, go ahead.

WILLIAMS: …That in fact, most of the undocumented people in the United States don’t come across the border, and they’re certainly not trafficked, not brought across by coyotes.

McCAIN: Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: They’re people who come here on legal visas, and simply overstay that visa.

McCAIN: Well, just because we have not addressed that issue, which we can and should, doesn’t mean that we still don’t have a serious problem with drugs coming across our borders.

WILLIAMS: But I’m saying, I’m saying, don’t you think that that is wrong, it’s a distortion, that the Republican debate about immigration is centered on drugs and illegal human trafficking?

McCAIN: The use of drugs, in my, in fact, I just saw a news report, after going down some, is now on the way up again, amongst young people. We can’t ignore that problem. That’s, that’s…

WILLIAMS: But I’m saying, isn’t that a separate problem?

McCAIN: No, I think because…

WILLIAMS: A separate issue?

McCAIN: Not as long as those drugs, the majority of ‘em are being brought across our border, uh, illegally. Could I mention also one historical fact? Ted Kennedy and I were doing immigration reform. It was Senator Obama who went to the floor, and proposed an amendment which would sunset the guest worker program that Ted Kennedy and I had agreed to, which would’ve destroyed, uh, which was partially the reason why we destroyed immigration reform. It was destroyed by people like then-Senator Obama on the left, and some who are opposed to agricultural worker program, and by some on the right who obviously called it, quote, amnesty. So, the irony of all this is, that then-Senator Obama was part of the destruction of the effort that Ted Kennedy and I made. But you won’t hear that very often.

WILLIAMS: Well, I think the votes, though, didn’t come from the Republican side. President Bush was in favor of it.

McCAIN: Yes.

WILLIAMS: I believe you were in favor of it.

McCAIN: Yes.

WILLIAMS: But the defeat came from a lot of the talk radio people on the far right, who took away Republican votes in the Congress.

McCAIN: It was a group on the far right, and it was also on the left, the Farm Workers of America, a union, and trade unions who were opposed to the guest worker program provision. One of… the greatness of Ted Kennedy, as you know, was that he was willing—he and I agreed to vote against amendments that we otherwise might support. And I saw him speak rather sternly to then-Senator Obama, when Senator Obama proposed the amendment to quote, sunset, in other words, end the guest worker program, but the rest of the immigration reform continued.

WILLIAMS: And you think this will be highlighted in the course of the campaign, by the Romney folks?

McCAIN: I don’t know, to tell you the truth.

WILLIAMS: Ah.

McCAIN: People have a tendency to forget these things, and a lot of people don’t understand the way we work in the Senate. Whether that’s good or bad, I don’t know.

WILLIAMS: Now you know Mitt Romney’s dad was born in Mexico.

McCAIN: Yep.

WILLIAMS: You were born in Panama, just like me.

McCAIN: Canal Zone. Yes.

WILLIAMS: Exactly. So, historically…

McCAIN: Yes. I, much long before you, I might add.

WILLIAMS: You’re a kind soul. Historically, you have been much admired, loved…

McCAIN: Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: …by Latinos in your community, in Arizona, thirty percent of the state. (YOU’RE A FOOL IF YOU THOUGHT THAT MEXICAN, WHO BREAK EACH AND EVERY LAW IN THIS NATION, ARE ALSO NOT VOTING IN LA RAZA SUPREMACIST!)

McCAIN: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: But as the GOP has pulled to the right, it looks like you have abandoned so much of your support for pro-immigrant policies. It looks like you said, you know what, we’ve got to wait until that border is secure, even as the border has become more secure. So, are people right to criticize you as having abandoned the immigrant, immigrant community?

McCAIN: Well I hope not. But I do also understand, though, that there have been increases in border security. There’s no doubt about that. But has there been enough? As I pointed out to you, the price for an ounce of cocaine on the street in Chicago is not one penny more than it was before we started all this. We can use technology, we can do things that rather than just hiring people. But right now, for example, our wildlife refuges in southern Arizona are being destroyed. That’s something that’s a desecration of our, of our history. So I think that, working together, we can work out immigration reform, which has to do with guest worker programs, which has to do with past the [LTG: sb "paths to"] citizenship, not necessarily granting citizenship, but giving people legal status. Also, this issue of course, of children who were brought here, has to be addressed as well. And, there will be people on both ends of the spectrum who…

WILLIAMS: Who stand in the way.

McCAIN: Who—yeah…

WILLIAMS: Now, now people, similarly ask, why would John McCain be supporting Jan Brewer, when you think about SB 1070, especially the initial issue about racial profiling.

McCAIN: Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: People say ‘why was John McCain supporting Governor Brewer?’ What do you say?

 

McCAIN: Because I sympathized with her, and the citizens of my state that were incredibly frustrated. We had a border patrol agent killed. We had a rancher who was killed by drug smugglers. People were not safe in their homes, in the southern part of our state. SB 1070, the law that was passed in Arizona, was a direct result of the frustration that our citizens felt, because their lives, literally in the southern part of our state, were not safe on the American side of the border. And that was bred out of that frustration. Now, since the border enforcement has been increased, and we have seen some improvements, you haven’t seen nearly the fervor that you saw in the past. And by the way, on that issue, I think it’s pretty clear from the argument that the Supreme Court members made, that a lot of that, that law may be upheld…

WILLIAMS: So what’s your prediction…

McCAIN: …By the United States Supreme Court.

WILLIAMS: What’s your prediction on the court?

McCAIN: I think there’ll be a couple of aspects, certainly, that’ll be upheld. If you, if a policeman arrests someone, and that person acts in a strange fashion, to ask them to show their identification, I don’t think is, I think the Supreme Court, that’s even, Judge Sotomayor (SOTOMAYER IS A MEMBER OF THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA. THAT’S WHY OBAMA PUT HER ON THE COURT. SHE VOTED NO ON E-VERIFY, AS SUCH WOULD KEEP ILLEGALS OUT OF OUR JOBS!) acted very skeptical, as to whether that was unconstitutional or not.

WILLIAMS: And so you expect that that would be upheld, and that…

McCAIN: I think provisions of it.

WILLIAMS: What provisions do you think will be struck down?

McCAIN: I’m not sure of all of the details, but I’m sure that there are a couple of areas where it would probably be struck down. And, look, I love my state. I love the people of my state. And I know that sometimes our image is hurt by this, all this controversy that…

WILLIAMS: I was just going to ask you. Arizona’s become now known as the anti-immigrant state. There are boycotts against Arizona.(ARIZONA IS KNOWN IN MEXICO AS THE GATEWAY FOR THE MEX DRUG CARTELS TO THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST!)

McCAIN: Actually, those, those aren’t happening anymore, the boycotts. Our tourism is back up, and the convention business, which is so important, because it really is such a wonderful place for us to live and work. But again when I go down to the southern part of my state, and I meet a group of ranchers that say, I can’t even drop my child off at the bus stop, because… for fear of their safety, then we have to do something about that.

WILLIAMS: But that’s a drug issue, isn’t it?

McCAIN: I’m their elected—it’s, it’s a lot to do with drugs, and it’s got to do a lot to do with these coyotes who are bringing people across.

WILLIAMS: The vice-presidential pick is the talk of the town. Do you have a pick that you would suggest for Mitt Romney?

McCAIN: No, I think it would be very presumptive of the loser to do that. But I think he has a deep bench to draw from, and obviously the same ones that I see you discuss…

WILLIAMS: Right.

McCAIN: …On the panels, on Fox, Marco Rubio would be very attractive, Rob Portman, Kelly Ayotte, we’ve got several governors out there, Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, and all of these people, by the way, say, no, no, never, I don’t want it! You’ve got to, you’ve got to say, I don’t want it.

WILLIAMS: Right, right. Do you want…

McCAIN: …That said, yes, I want it!

WILLIAMS: That’d be…

McCAIN: Yeah.

WILLIAMS: Do you think that if Romney was to select Marco Rubio…

McCAIN: Yeah. Yeah.

WILLIAMS: …It would impact the Latino vote that he could in fact make inroads that would lessen the amount of support for the Democrats and President Obama?

McCAIN: Well, first of all, I think it would help in Florida, because Rubio is very popular in Florida, with all segments of the population. But I think it’s bound to. But I also agree with the point that you were making earlier, in your questioning, and that is that we need to show the Hispanic community that we recognize that this is, in many ways, an issue of being humane, of being understanding, of having compassion, and that, that’s, that’s really the fundamental way, that, to, to address the issue.

WILLIAMS: You know, you earlier said, there’s so much in common in terms of social values, between…

McCAIN: Pro-military, small business, lower taxes, pro-life, yeah, there’s many, many, uh, common ground between ourselves—small business men and women are huge amounts of our Latino population.

WILLIAMS: Okay, so, John McCain, Republican wise man is talking to the Romney campaign. What’s the leverage point, where do you advise them to go, to start to bridge, and bring those people of common value, into touch with the Republican Party?

McCAIN: Well, Mitt Romney has said that he is in favor of immigration reform. Now, like anything else, the devil is in the details. And as you know, Marco Rubio is working on a version of the Dream Act to address probably one of the most compelling aspects of all this issue, and that is, people who came to our country, were brought, and were brought as children. So look, Republicans can read polls just as well as Democrats, Juan. Everybody knows that this is a serious issue, not only now, but the demographics, and Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico…

WILLIAMS: Texas, California. Well, not, I mean…

McCAIN: Georgia! Georgia. Look at the large, fast-growing Hispanic population in the Atlanta area. (THE MEX-OCCUPATION EXPANDS NATIONWIDE. ILLEGALS ARE BREEDING MEXICO’S OCCUPATION BY ANCHOR BABY BREEDING! SUCH COST LOS ANGELES COUNTY ALONE $600 MILLION PER YEAR)

WILLIAMS: Yeah.

McCAIN: So, we understand that. Now, the question is, are we going to be able to really address it in a serious fashion? I believe so, and I hope so.

WILLIAMS: But you don’t have any suggestion as to how to do it.

McCAIN: Well, as I say, Marco Rubio is working on a… and others are working with him on a version of the Dream Act.

WILLIAMS: But you know that he…

McCAIN: He…

WILLIAMS: …That Rubio’s proposal would not grant citizenship, it would just allow them to stay in the country. He says he wants to prevent chain migration. It’s not going to pass muster with most Latino voters, who want a Dream Act that gives those young people in the military, in school, the opportunity to be American citizens.

McCAIN: Well, first of all, I’m not sure that that’s, that that’s the case, because I think, first of all, they do want, uh, to have a legal status, and be able to come out of the shadows. Second of all, let me tell you a big problem with the Dream Act. Dream Act says you can go to college for two years—as proposed by Senator Durbin. Go to college for two years, or serve in the military for, for two years. We don’t serve in the military for two years. We serve in the military for four years. So what are you going to say? And the reason why we serve for four years, it takes so long to train them, so, anyone who joins our military. So, we’re going to say, here’s a special category, that can, only has to serve in the military for two years? Come on. So there’s, there’s some fundamental flaws with their version of the Dream Act, that I think has to be addressed as well.

WILLIAMS: Senator McCain, thank you so much for coming in to Fox News Latino.

McCAIN: Thank you for the interrogation.

WILLIAMS: The interrogation. Well, we did it in English.

McCAIN: Thanks a lot.

WILLIAMS: Thank you very much, Senator.
