Transcript: King: ...You put out a
beacon like the Statue of Liberty and who comes here? The most vigorous from
every country that has donated legal immigrants to America. The cream of the
crop. We've always had bird dogs around our place in our family there's a black
lab and white lab a yellow lab, and my brother has a chocolate lab. Well you go
in and you look at a litter of pups, and you watch them. You watch how they play
-- they run around a little bit -- and what do you want? You want a good bird
dog, and you want one that's gonna be aggressive? Pick the one that's the
friskiest, the one that's in games the most -- not the one that's over there
sleeping in the corner. You want a pet to sit on the couch, pick the one that's
sleeping in the corner. That's -- so, you get the pick of the litter, you got
yourself a pretty good bird dog. We got the pick of every donor civilization on
the planet because it's hard to get here, you had to be inspired to come. We got
the vigor from the planet to come to America. Whichever generation it was, and
then we taught our children that same thing.

  • Its called an 'analogy'... that's all he is using here. I'm an immigrant and I'm not at all offended by this 'analogy'. Get over yourself!

  • He also said "Cream of the crop"

    He must be racist.

    Haters will hate.

  • It never ceases to amaze me as to how far liberals can stretch any given incident.

    Let me clear it up for you, illegal immigrants are POS criminals. The argument of hard working people trying to make a better life for themselves doesn't work, because the same argument holds true for bank robbers.

    Now, take your criminal ass back across the border and get in line with the honest and welcomed peoples.

  • He was metaphorically comparing the process by which immigrant policy is crafted to the process by which puppies are selected.
    There are (or at least were) reasons why immigration from some countries was more desirable than others.
    I think both the process, and the comparison is fair.

    Ever choose sides to a pickup basketball game? same thing.

  • He also compares White's to bird-dog's as well.
    Is that racist too?
    Of course not, because he was using what is called an "analogy."
    Libtard's can look it up in the dictionary, the Occutard's they can't even read anyway.

  • Actually he compared two different "pickings," but that wouldn't suit a "professional victim's" agenda. So it's reinterpreted by the brain dead for the
    even more brain dead's consumption.
    Hmmmmmmmm,......dog,........consumption,.........illegal immigrants,.......
    mexican food,........øbama,.............

  • As if being compared to a dog is a bad thing. Dogs are good. In fact they're delicious. Just ask Obama!

  • The poster of this misses the entire message.

    It is an analogy of locking your doors and keeping the riff raff out, but letting people in who will enrich your house.

    ALL of the illegal immigrants are criminals. That should raise a big ass red flag there.

    Next what are they doing to enrich OUR lives?? They came into our house and are not helping us forward but they are dragging us down to how they lived in their third world countries.

    You cannot legally become a resident of Mexico unless yo More..

  • Just like a "Libtard" to twist this into an accusation of racism.

  • Ah haha. Before I even saw who uploaded it, by the end of the tape I thought, "this is the kind of bullshit dcmfox would waste my time with." Then I saw who uploaded it and sat here content with myself knowing that he's such a cookie-cutter libtard cliche.

  • legal immigrants are human beings. illegal ones are lower than the worst dog.

  • Well he is complimenting the illegal aliens that make it here, so what is your problem, dcm, with his comparing this to getting the pick of the litter?

  • He's using dogs to illustrate a message about the work ethic of legal immigrants that's in no way derogatory!

    Trust dcmfox to twist the truth into a pretzel. As if he's calling all immigrants a bunch of filthy mutts!

    Nice Try!
