Kansas Republican: Let's Shoot Illegal Immigrants Like "Feral Hogs"

At a recent House Appropriations Committee down in Kansas, Rep. Virgil Peck (R) thinks he has discovered a solution to the “illegal immigrant problem”:

“It looks like to me if shooting these immigrating feral hogs works maybe we have found a [solution] to our illegal immigration problem.”

After the committee meeting, Peck was approached by the press. He did not apologize for his quote, and went on to state that he was “just joking,” and “just speaking like a southeast Kansas person.”

Still shocked? Listen to the unbelievable quote from Peck here:

    wow. So, Southeast Kansans, is that REALLY what you talk like? If so, there is yet another state for me to add to my growing list of those in which I shall never set foot.

    I’d rather see this happen to Republicans that suggest this as a solution to the illegal immigration problem and not demonize Latin Americans trying to find a better life.

    What has happened to human decency? To treating all life with respect and dignity? To empathy? What if those were your kids he was talking about gunning down? What if your best shot in life was to illegally enter another country and hope to find work and escape detection?

    No troll here… just a 42 year old gay man dealing with the Mexican’s and the actual stealing of our public services..that I and you pay for of course through all our taxes. They are Mexican’s…for sure….knowing the liberal that you are I am sure you will give them a job caring for your yard….but anything beyond that probably not..it would be to real to have them as a “friend”, or working in the big house. .So think before you point that finger at me…and look at the three pointed back to you…How many Mexican friends do you have?? Their phone number in your card file!! Answer that one…….to mow your lawn most likely, but point the finger at myself for stating the truth…

    Not a troll, but English is obviously not your first language. And if it is, then maybe you should ask a Mexican to help you with your grammar.

    I will not pretend to know your ethnicity however I can most certainly guarantee that if your group was being targeted you’d sing a different tune. So go get informed on our legal system and the actual rights of illegal immigrants and then come back when you can say something worth reading

    I have to agree with you, Tarphy. I didn’t see Heylookingfor’s earlier post before they took it down; however, after looking at his most recent post, I agree that he should probably take a couple of English classes. Maybe he could do that instead of spending all of his time posting unintelligible comments.

    Resilda, in your view I am sure anyone that does not agree with YOU!! Is a sorry excuse…If you had a real job, and were working, or trying to find a job of some type beside living on Obama money….Your view of the Mexicans (illegals) that come in and undercut the Americans for the job…your view MIGHT change your mind when your trying to keep your family alive and together… But …your probably an “IVORY TOWER: liberal…that views the world through ideas on paper…but never really works out in the field…or believes the ‘fly over’ states do not have a clue….but when your eating food produced here in the USA..think of those Mexican’s that helped plant, pick, or ship it to your nice Kogers…and think of the plight of the illegals at your “oak dining room table with matching chairs”. And send a check to Moveon…it is the answer….

    LoveBourges…amazing the “Ivory Tower” liberals and their views of “What” they think the world should be as compare to what life is really….Wow, I am sorry to know your not working at this time….things will be better as we move close to 2012, and have a new President…anyone…really…Anyone….who has had a job..worried about health care, utilities, putting gas in the car, putting a garden in to save money..(not a token garden on the South side of the White House), hoping that the next cuts do not hit your department etc…Some one…please that cares…..

    And living off your tax base and the public services you pay for everyday!! Sounds wonderful….it sounds so wonderful…to find a “new life”…Do it in a legal way!!!

  • Anonymous

    There not my kids or even close…there Mexicans that came here illegal…and are using our services to make their life better…on your back and the public’s back…Next time your at nice restaurant look in the kitchen and see who is working, or better yet get up early and see who the prep people are at your favorite eating place…most likely Mexican’s…with no I.D. or SS #….so no taxes to help your city, state, or nation. Yes, the owner should be held accountable for his actions…but most likely he will not be as you know….are they (Mexican’s) being paid min. wage..most likely not…so what is the answer…keep the out so some person with all the proper ID can work…wow…pay for the street work, the actual base of our cities..and states..and even nation.nnSo April, come down from your liberal “Ivory Tower” and look at the world today…and see what is going on please…it is not what you hear on NPR or read in textbooks….

    Ethnicity is German Jew…or my grandparents were…WHO came here legal…not under the river, or through the river…very legal, worked their WHOLE life…and paid taxes, and did not live off the gov’t as the illegals do now!! Open your eyes to the illegals in our country…they overflow my ER where I work as a Dr. do they pay for the services….. NO!!!!!!

    Just to let you know, they pay their taxes at the end of a year just like everyone else. Everything they purchase at stores or food has taxes so they pay that as well. The only difference is at the end of the year citizens get some of their taxes back and they get none!

    As a person from SEK, I would like to say HELL NO, but unfortunately, I can think of several people off the top of my head who would probably see nothing wrong with Peck’s disgusting, horrifying comment. :( The Bible Belt can be quite un-Christ-like.

    BUT, I will say the vast majority do not talk or think like that. There was quite an outcry of angry voices about his here as well, and rightfully so.

    You’ve been here two generations and your written English is totally ESL. nnI know some MD’s who are pretty dumb and lacking in compassion, but no way am I buying this one. Seriously, if you’re actually an MD, you aren’t worried about who’s staffing your local mcDonald’s so much.nnWhat’s your excuse? My grandparents were busy getting porgommed and I don’t have to compete for fast food jobs and act like the world owes ME and not MEXICANS.nnPlenty of Jews got turned back and sent to die by people just like you when our Grandparents were getting here. An attitude like this makes me embarrassed that anyone could be this ignorant and be Jewish.nnGet an education then get on your high horse. Most Americans are too lazy, illiterate and inept to even DO the jobs illegals are doing.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_SXUVBY62QE5RA5UA6WMOYVMHYY Dania

    EXACTLY! They get MUCH less benefits than Americans. So why are you complaining??? (you even admitted they do pay taxes so why are you saying they don’t?)

    Most work for CASH..and do not put anything in the system at all….Yes, the owners are wrong for doing it, but if they were not here as illegals…then they would not be at the back door working for $6.00 an hour cash…

    Looercopter, would love to see your liberal person come through my ER here in the SW…and you have to wait for the non-paying Mexicans that are ahead of you!!! And see how you feel…with the Mexican’s making themselves comfortable in from of the free TV and (JOSE) is being looked at… Of course as you said your working for McDonald’s so maybe some type of health care if your in the management section….nnLoopercopter, so how many illegals are working for you? Doing your yard, or washing your clothes?? Do you pay them in cash, or with clothes?? Get out of your liberal “Ivory Tower of Education”..and look at the real world……

    Had the Native Indians shot the illegal immigrants who stole Amerika from them and the Aztec Indians way back when…we wouldn’t even have this problem today, would we?

    Not all “illegals” are Mexican and most probably work for less than minimum wage so that the people who employ them can afford to pay the “citizens” that complain that they’re not getting paid enough even though the “Mexicans” are doing the majority of the work! Whether you like it or not, illegal immigration keeps this country running…they do the jobs that most of us consider ourselves to good to do. You say get rid of them so an American can work there, but most wouldn’t take those jobs if you knocked on their door and offered it to ‘em. We as Americans have gotten lazy, accustomed to living beyond our means, and expecting to be paid for work we usually don’t even do! Illegal immigrants take whatever is given without complaint, make due and even send money home to their families. I have illegal in-laws who pay income tax and work harder than most people I know and have friends all over the country that wouldn’t want to work with anyone else than illegals because of their good work ethic. Wake up and stop looking for someone else to blame for our own laziness as Americans!!!

  • Anonymous

    Someone should call ICE on your in-laws if there ILLEGALS…there here breaking the law…which you seem to think is okay. If the ILLEGALS were not here to do to those jobs you are talking…maybe the Americans that you state that are “lazy, soft and living beyond there means”, might lower themselves to do those jobs. That “statement” THAT AMERICANS WILL NOT DO THOSE JOBS…is very old and you have no fact to base that on…really…Not blaming anyone ELSE…just very tried of the MEXICAN”S like your illegal in-laws living off our services here in the US…As you state ILLEGALS are all over the country…EATING AWARE AT THE CORE OF THE UNITED STATES. nnI hope this is real name…so ICE can track your IN-LAWS DOWN and ship them back to MEXICO…under the Patriot Act….there ILLEGALS, and your hiding them also….The great work ethic is a laugh…wish they would learn to pay there bills through that “work ethic”. They never pay through our ER…and can never speak English when required…. Good Luck…..

    I love how to disagree with your illiterate hateful ranting is to not live in the real world. I got my health care as a kid at Montefiore, which deals with medicaid and public health more than ANY OTHER FACILITY in the entire US. There’s no tower for me to come down from. I wash my own damn clothes.nnSomehow, despite the existence of brown people in front of me in the line, which bums you out to the point of foaming at the mouth, I managed to get over myself and learn to write in English in the meantime.nnYour world is not going to get any easier for you, having to call people on a message board racial slurs to get through the day.

    So health care, provided by the US taxpayer under Medicaid for Lollercopter because?? Probably, because your living off the gov’t it sounds like..and not working…probably what use to be called a “Welfare Mother’ collecting as much as she can so she can stay home and watch TV.nnYou could wash others clothes to make some money under the table..since your down from the “Ivory Tower”, and living off the gov’t!! How long have you collected Welfare and all the Obama money your able to collect?? Be honest know one knows you on here…nnPlease bring your Medicaid Card to our ER and sit behind all the brown people as you call them, or Mexicans/illlegals, and you will be processed and taken care in a caring way. ER’s love to collect off Medicaid…we get paid at some point…My world is pretty good in my gated community…with as you refer to them as the ‘brown people” on the other side.

    Uh no. Private insurance, same hospital. Working parents. I was a child, you know, those people who don’t vote. Try again.nnMaybe I should have taken in laundry when I was six and seven years old to supplement my working mother’s salary. I guess that’s how you’d like to see the world work. nnDrinking much? I can see you’re a busy MD home on a friday. And I work, actually, you should try it instead of bitching.nn

    Amazing Lollercopter….are you on Welfare too like your parents were??nnYes, off on a Friday afternoon, have put in well over 70 hrs so far..Hours, are what you put in for a pay check…I know it something that your not really aware of growing up in a welfare family and continuing on as you today !! It is called work…so by Sunday I will have close to 100 hrs..and no I am not paid by the hour..on a set salary.nnAs for the drinking ….no I have been a friend of Bill W. close to 24 years this May….If you don’t know Bill Wilson ..google him. He and his teaching could help you get off the welfare roles or out of your “Ivory Tower”…and live a sober life, and see how the country really looks. nn Go sit in your local ER and watch the number that do not have insurance etc…it might open up your eyes to the situation in American….
