The Arizona Republican Party is calling on a Republican state lawmaker to resign after he said that "immigration today represents an existential threat to the United States" and "there aren't enough white kids to go around."

David Stringer, a member of the Arizona House of Representatives, can be seen criticizing immigration in a video posted to Twitter on Tuesday that has since gone viral.


The video shows him saying, "There aren't enough white kids to go around ... immigration is politically destabilizing ... immigration today represents an existential threat to the United States. If we don't do something about immigration very, very soon the demographics of our country will be irrevocably changed and we will be a very different country."

On Thursday, the Arizona Republican Party put out a statement from their chairman calling for Stringer to resign.

1. How old school of the Arizona GOP

Clearly someone wasn't wearing their MAGA hat. Next time around I'm sure they'll finally get with the program and pump more money into someone like that's campaign.

2. racist and anti-immigrant GOP'ers know the end is coming when their own keep

letting "inside words" come out.

We have an angry democratic voting base who are not forgetting anything...and out minority voters MUST act and not set any more elections out.


America has had a taste of GOP is cooking and we best not let it continue

3. "Oh noes!! If things change, then things will be different in the future!!!!"

So David Stringer is apparently calling on time to stand still.

Good luck with that.

9. He's correct in his belief that POC are a threat to the GOP.

That's because the GOP have chosen to alienate them.

4. Why should he resign?

He just expressed the true feelings of Dotard and the rest of the repuke party.

(I'm surprised they didn't nominate him for a Nobel....)

5. If Not For Immigration. . .

Dumbass

6. This is going way too far...AZ borders Mexico, and lots of mexicans (back then) and ...

americans traveled back and forth between both countries, and it was far more of a neighborhood environment and nothing like what it is now.

The main problem that still isn't fixed that is causing a lot of these issues is multifold:

(1) illegal drugs and the vast inability to stop them, need to change how we do this, a lot of states and cities are recognizing this and are changing pot laws accordingly (and it's helping stretch the budgets of cities and states to concentrate on the 'harder' and more dangerous drugs like Meth, so forth;

(2) Problems in Latin and Central America - lack of American resolve and efforts to help in these regions to stabilize and firm up these regions is driving a lot of these innocents to emigrate and flee these high crime areas, thus causing problems on our borders directly;

(3) American gee whiz and political will seems to stop right at the US borders. I know that a lot of these latin and south American countries don't want a heavy handed US presence (because of our abuses in the past), but that doesn't mean that they still want our help. Very often, these countries simply don't have the resources to do more. It's funny, because a lot of my friends have actually retired to these areas south of the border.
