Immigration issues have played an important role in US politics across the decades and the centuries. The 1850's, the 18880's and the early 1900's have all been times in US elections where the issue of immigration has shaded the political landscape of US politics.
The Know-Nothing Party, an anti-immigrant hate group, gained enough political clout in times of immigration controversy that it succeeded at different times to elect Know-Nothing mayors to major cities like Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco.
True enough, knowing nothing has often been an asset in US politics especially among Republican voters in the start of the 21st century. But, at first Senator McCain had actually advocated an humane immigration policy. However, now that he sees the brass ring of the Republican nomination for Presidential candidacy in reach, Son of Cain has been willing to murder his brother Abel the immigrant.
The Straight Talk Express Bus has pulled up to the hate-mongering Know-Nothing Party headquarters and McCain now seems to be speaking straight out of both sides of his mouth
