Here’s the guy running the Arizona Legislature, Russell Pearce, on immigration

[Joanne98]

Here’s the guy running the Arizona Legislature, Russell Pearce, the one who made sure his Republican peanut gallery got SB 1070 passed, speaking in September 2006:




“We know what we need to do. In 1953, Dwight D. Eisenhower put together a task force called ‘Operation Wetback.’ He removed, in less than a year, 1.3 million illegal aliens. They must be deported.”


“In the ‘50s it was common. In the ‘60s it was common. You don’t use it today because people have tried to make it offensive. Things change, and you know what? Who cares? Whatever they want to be called, I’m OK with that.”
