The Arizona Republican Party called for the immediate resignation of state Representative David Stringer following his controversial remarks on immigration.
On Monday, Rep. Stringer said there are not enough white kids in public schools. He noted that “60% of public school children in the state of Arizona today are minorities.
He went on say that immigration is changing the demographics of the United States. It is “politically destabilizing” and “represents an existential threat” to the entire country.
A video clip of Stringer’s remarks regarding the issue is circulating on social media. Many people particularly Democrats and immigration activist condemned the Arizona lawmaker. They called his comments “dangerous, hateful, fear mongering, and racist.”
In a statement Thursday, Jonathan Lines, chairman of the Arizona GOP, said, “In light of today’s reports detailing Representative David Stringer’s comments, I am calling on him to resign immediately. These words have no place in our party, or in our state.”
