Alaska Republican says immigrants are gang members who will take your guns away

A Tea Party Repubilcan senatorial candidate in Alaska says a vote for immigration reform would imperil the Second Amendment and gun ownership in America. And to make that point, he’s put images of Mexican gang members on a flier that’s so over the top, it’s become a news story, Think Progress reported.

A flyer for Joe Miller’s campaign features the image, taken from a 2007 book, Young and Lethal: Life in a Mexican Drug Cartel, and says incumbent Sen. Mark Begich (D-AZ) “wants them to vote.”

“If 20 million illegals vote, you can kiss the 2nd Amendment goodbye,” a quote attributed to Miller states. “I am the only candidate who favors Voter ID.”



That same day, Miller defended the use of the image in a primary debate. But instead of citing sources related to immigration, he used remarks made by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) during an interview with Fox News. According to Miller, Cruz said immigrant children were being forced to cut other children’s fingers off.

But I have heard that Republicans want to sell your grandparents to the dog food factory for a quick buck.

your brain would turn mush. Same goes for all Republican Tea Party Fascist everywhere not unique to Alaska. The climate in Alaska should really appeal to immigrants from Southern tropics.

The hate and fear of the tea naggers and the libertarians caused Ferguson. When you have cops pointing loaded weapons at law abiding citizens, you step over the line. Look at Joe Miller with his penis extension fire-arm. He's the kind of scum we definitely do not need in any kind of authoritarian position!

who are taking the Republican ballot just so they can vote for Joe. It would be absolutely the best thing for Mark Begich if Joe is his opponent.
