"Maybe he can get out his small varmint gun and drive those Guatemalans off his lawn."
—McCain, in reference to Mitt Romney and his opposition to the immigration reform bill. The gibe alludes to Romney's self-described hunting experience—the former Massachusetts governor calls himself a "lifelong hunter" who has been on two hunts, "for small varmints, if you will"—and the charge that Romney's landscaping company employed illegal immigrants from Guatemala.
