Oh No! He "Didn't" ??
The Senator from South Carolina (the one that is white and "elected"), disparaged all persons who have the misfortune of hailing from "below" our Southern Border. They come from "Hell Holes", he says. http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-lindsey-graham-immigration-mexico-20130509,0,5659961.story
I don't know whom to feel the most sorry for; those "brown" people who come across our border to the south, or those (mostly Asian and European) who are welcomed across our (un-fenced, and much longer) border to the north. Both are diminished by the Senators statements.
Then, again, hailing from South Carolina, and entering the great middle class in this country through the open door of our military, the senator should know NOT to disparage those without opportunities he had, and were less fortunate in the ovarian and geography lotteries. He could probably learn a few lessons from the "other" (appointed and black) Senator from South Carolina.
Any of us who have had the not-quite-pleasure of travel, lately, to the deep South in this country (The Carolinas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and those states that border them to the north), probably were made keenly aware of the fact that black citizens in those states know a thing or two about "Hell Holes"! They can definitely "enlighten" the Senator.
South Carolina has played an important role for Republican candidates on the "road to the Presidency", since the days of Eisenhower. It was critical for those candidates to "prove" their "bona-fides" on race for Party "leaders" in that peculiar state.
Any "Christian" (real ones, that is), who is a citizen of South Carolina, should remind the Senator that he should not demean them! By picking on people this way, who cannot fight back, and who are denigrated for circumstances of their birth, he shames the voters of South Carolina!
Stay Vigilant! Pray for the South (all colors).
