GOP Candidate's Call for Labor Camp Rebuked
By JENNIFER TALHELM - ABC News so salt (heavily) to taste!Just wanted to make known who wrote this.... WASHINGTON Jun 23, 2006 (AP) A Republican gubernatorial candidate's call for creation of a forced labor camp for illegal Don Goldwater, nephew of the late Sen. Barry Goldwater, caused an international stir this week when EFE, a Mexican news service, quoted him as saying he wanted to hold undocumented immigrants in camps to use them "as labor in the construction of a wall and to clean the areas of the Arizona desert that they're polluting." The article described Goldwater's plan as a "concentration camp" for migrants. First of all these are ILLEGAL ALIENS not 'migrants' or immigrants. They VIOLATED FEDERAL LAWS and ought to be punished for it. YES I MEAN PUNISHED! Goldwater, a candidate for governor in Arizona, said in a statement Friday that his comments were taken out of context. He said he was calling for a work program for convicted nonviolent felons, similar to "tried and tested, effective and accepted practices" used by state and local jails. A mexican pro-ILLEGAL ALIEN newspaper trying to score points by misrepresenting the truth? Who do they think they are? Muslims? But two Republicans, Arizona Sen. John McCain and Rep. Jim Kolbe, called Goldwater's comments "deeply offensive" and asked state Republicans to reject his candidacy in the Sept. 12 primary. "That Mr. Goldwater is either unaware of or indifferent to the loaded symbolism, injustice and un-Americanism of his 'plan' to address the many serious issues caused by illegal immigration reveals his flaws as a candidate and a stunning lack of respect for the basic values of a generous and decent society," McCain said in a statement. Enforcing federal law is.... unamerican? McCain's lost it. Kolbe said that if the comments are true, Goldwater "has demonstrated his complete unworthiness for public office, and I am confident he will be soundly rejected by Republicans from the party of Barry Goldwater, who consistently demonstrated his compassion and respect for all people. This is a sad day in the national debate on McCain and Kolbe favor a guest-worker program for illegal Wasn't the Guest worker program for new 'legal' workers? These two want Amnesty for illegal ALIENS. Goldwater made a similar comment at an April anti-immigration rally. "Build us that wall now!" Goldwater said, referring to a proposal to add 700 miles of fences along the U.S.-Mexico border. He promised then that if elected, he would put illegal immigrants in a tent city on the border and use their labor to build the wall. And the bad side if this is....?
