Now McCain is telling us in an interview that the AZ Immigration Bill was prompted more by the growing drug violence than by problems with illegal immigrants.

I am still trying to get my head around the logic of that. I mean, the problems are somewhat related, but basically they are targeting people who are coming over, mostly peacefully, to look for work in order to try and deal with a problem they have little or nothing to do with.

I still see the analogy of the three-year-old kid trying to get attention:

Arizona and the border states have been begging the federal government to do something bout the growing problems related to our open, porous border. They have been ignored.

What does a three-year-old do when mommy will not respond to its pleas for attention? It hits the baby and makes it scream. In that respect, the ploy has worked…

I’m gonna repeat something I said last thread: The Feds are not sitting around doing their nails and gossiping. We’ve been building the fence. We’ve bulked up the border patrols. What the HELL does Arizona want? And don’t tell me “seal the border”. Something realistic.
