“Sen. John McCain visited Liberty Township for a Thursday fundraiser, but a fellow Republican will not be in attendance.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones took out a half-page newspaper ad blasting the presidential candidate’s stance on illegal immigration, and similar ads are planned for other Ohio and New York newspapers.

“Before I’m a Republican, I’m an American, and this is an American issue, and I can say what I think,” Jones said.

In the ad, the sheriff asks McCain why voters hadn’t heard his policy on illegal immigration, an issue about which Jones is particularly outspoken.

“Are you avoiding this American issue?” the ad asks. “We are all ears.”

Jones, who wants the border sealed and illegal immigrants deported, said he feels McCain has sold out the Republican Party and the U.S. by remaining silent.

“Believe me, he won’t discuss this issue at all in the next 90 days,” Jones said. “He doesn’t want to talk about it at all, (and) I’m going to talk about it everywhere in Ohio.”

A campaign representative said Thursday that McCain would secure the border as president, but the Arizona Republican believes there should be a comprehensive solution for illegal immigration.

Jones said he did not know whether McCain would discuss the ad during his Tri-state fundraiser, but he added that he would not be there to find out.

“I’m not paying $5,000 to have my picture with McCain,” Jones said. “I’m going to stay home and watch paint dry.”

notice that the McShame spokesman says that they want a “comprehensive” approach. IOW, they still are stuck on stupid with the same amnesty crap that they tried to ram down our throats last year.

they have not changed one friggin iota.

“We recognize that occasional incidents such as this can and do occur. But we take the misunderstanding seriously, as does the Government of Mexico.”

Then BUILD THE G..DAMN FENCE as McCan’t has called it.

But notice which direction the fence bends? Golly, if it doesn’t look like its meant to keep Americans out of Mexico…not that a hammer and a little American ingenuity couldn’t overcome that obstacle.

I’m not that interested in a fence. I’m thinking more along the lines of helicopter gunships ….. 50mm also comes to mind. They can stand a couple miles off (off the reservation, so to speak) and give a clear indication of where the border is.

Oh, thinking of the reservation as a sovereign nation, why don’t we build a fence on this side of the reservation? You know, do a little loop around. Let that nation defend itself from the Mexicans and stand up for its sovereignty.

PSS ?
What is LaRaza Mc’s take on the Mexican military invasion of the U.S.?

Clearly, La Raza would not understand why they left. After all, they are just taking military responsibility for the land their people are populating.

I hear ya Rob.

see-dub, I respectfully suggest that you should’ve done this reporting yesterday prior to posting that the Mexican army had “invaded” the US.

You’ve apparently never been down there. As behiker noted, the Organ Pipe National Monument has an old fence on the border. There is no way that the Mexican soldiers didn’t know where there were. The fact is that there quite a number of incursions each year by Mexican soldiers, although they usually take off once spotted.
