Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) on Sunday warned that President Obama's executive actions and general "lawlessness" on immigration could lead to "ethnic cleansing."

Kobach, a vocal advocate of the anti-immigrant movement, claimed during his radio talk show that there was a strategy to replace American voters with Hispanic ones who favored socialism.

"The long term strategy of, first of all, replacing American voters with illegal aliens, recently legalized, who then become U.S. citizens," Kobach said. "There is still a decided bias in favor of bigger government not smaller government. So maybe this strategy of replacing American voters with newly legalized aliens, if you look at it through an ethnic lens, ... you've got a locked in vote for socialism."

Koback also responded to a caller who was concerned about ethnic cleansing, which the caller claimed was a threat from immigrant and Hispanic rights groups.

"What happens, if you know your history, when one culture or one race or one religion overwhelms another culture or race?" the caller asked. "When one race or culture overwhelms another culture, they run them out or they kill them."

Kobach then responded with his take.

"What protects us in America from any kind of ethnic cleansing is the rule of law, of course," Kobach said. "And the rule of law used to be unassailable, used to be taken for granted in America. And now, of course, we have a President who disregards the law when it suits his interests. And, so, you know, while I normally would answer that by saying, 'Steve, of course we have the rule of law, that could never happen in America,' I wonder what could happen. I still don't think it’s going to happen in America, but I have to admit, that things are, things are strange and they're happening."

One can only hope.

He's (R)etarded; that's how.

[AggregateDemand]

Dumb old white people expressing white fright and decrying the rise of socialism as they gorge on SS/MED benefits. Dumb young minorities voting to give old white people a lion's share of the treasury, while simultaneously destroying the lower-middle class.

Welcome to America. Sh*t wherever you please. No one will notice.

[Flake]

What a terrible human being.

I almost pity people that live their lives in constant paranoia.

Fun times!

Kris Kobach lol.

[user12345]

Republican's getting cocky all because they think Americans are dying for their views. News Flash: You guys won because we had the lowest voter turn out in over 70 years.

Stop being hacks guys. Both sides have extremes elected to high office. There's Democratic Secretary of States and State Speaker of the Houses that say crazy things too.

People like _________ and _________ are totally insane. And let's not forget _________. Remember when _________ said _________________?

[Grumpier Than Thou]

I love Kansas but boy do they elect stupid politicians

Where does one start on these lunatics?

1. Did the large Irish Catholic immigration to the US in the middle of the 19th century lead to ethnic cleansing? Hardly. Old Yankee towns in New England became Irish and Catholic -- but the old Yankee population was already leaving them for richer farmland in upstate New York, Michigan, and Wisconsin. What remained was the mercantile families who by all accounts prospered.

2. The white Anglo population is not replacing itself with childbirth. (Neither are blacks, but that is another story).  European immigration to the US has become practically in equilibrium with emigration. White people who don't want to raise children whose best prospects in life are to be unskilled laborers, retail clerks, or domestic servants effectively create openings for those who consider such not so bad if it is in America.

3. The Hispanic immigrants, legal or illegal, have not come here to change the American political system. They do not seek to aid any 'return' of any part of America to any Hispanophone country. They want good lives here. The only way in which such happens, or any Hispanic effort to secede from the United States is if the United States gets a racist regime hostile to Hispanics (in which other ethnic and religious groups such as Asian-Americans, Jews, and Muslims might seek to participate in the same secessionist movement).  

4. The pattern of American interaction with immigrant groups has usually been quick linguistic assimilation with introduction of cultural traits of the immigrants. Italian, Chinese, and Mexican cuisine are not going away. Love Broadway theater? It's really Yiddish theater -- it simply started using English instead of Yiddish because it got an ever-larger audience of people who used English instead of Yiddish.

5. Enmity between Anglo and Hispanic populations has never been significant. Even in the formation of the Republic of Texas, Anglo and Hispanic Texans both sought independence from the dictatorial rule of Santa Ana. Intermarriage between Anglos and Hispanics is so commonplace that it rarely bears noting.

6. Ethnic cleansing? That is for Nazis.

7. Part of the "Rule of Law" is to live and let live.

Hey Kansas: When you continue to re-enable stupidity, don't be surprised when they double down.

Hell, who am I kidding. I bet most Kansans agree with him.

[RedSLC]

How the f#$% does someone with degrees from Harvard, Oxford and Yale manage to be this retarded?!?!

I think you're looking at this the wrong way.

And yes, I realize this is probably infractable, but if that's the case, so be it. It's worth the points.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Even blue state have lunatic right-wing officials, so it figures that the red states would have them too.

Yes, a representative for a California state agency called all 20 million people who protested against the Iraq war a terrorist.

[CountryClassSF]

Looks like somebody who is willing to state the truth about the racist agenda of the Democrats.  It's about votes and cementing their "permanent demographic majority."

He was obviously speaking metaphorically.

[retromike22]

what is wrong with these people

Kansas voters elected these people.

[The_Doctor]

By how much was he re-elected?

Given his educational background, I surmise he's trying to rabble rouse. Of course, that's me being optimistic that the man is not in fact that stupid.
