Mr. Obama, Please Read Arizona's Immigration Law

Post by Nervous Wreck »

Members of the Obama administration, who soundly condemned Arizona's new immigration law, are now admitted that they have never even read it. Could President Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderón find themselves in the same boat based on comments they made today at their joint appearance on the White House lawn?

Let’s review. The first person who had to admit he had never read the Arizona law Attorney General Eric Holder made his admission last week. On Monday, it was Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's turn. On Tuesday, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley revealed that he, too, had not read the bill, despite commenting on it. Given how inaccurate these officials have been in their descriptions of the law, maybe members of President Obama’s team simply had no option but to plead ignorance.

After all, how do you take a law that clearly states the following: "A law enforcement official or agency of this state or a county, city, or town or other political subdivision of this state may not consider race, color or national origin,” and then claim that it is racist or could lead to racial profiling? Not only that but other parts of this very short law also include additional safeguards against racial profiling. For example, the law requires that the police may only ask for ID if they have “lawful contact” with “lawful stop, detention or arrest” and that authorities must have "reasonable suspicion" that a suspect is an illegal alien.

Failure by members of President Obama’s administration to read the four page text of Arizona's law is no a small matter, since some on his team managed to create quite a stir in various appearances on Sunday talk shows by bringing up concerns about racial profiling and racism.
Take, for example, Ms. Napolitano's warning on "This Week" on May 2: "Unfortunately, I think it [the law] does and can invite racial profiling." If these various "news" shows had been doing their job, they would have challenged Napolitano and other officials on these claims. Even just reading parts of the law -- verbatim -- to Ms. Napolitano or other administration officials during their appearance on the program would have been enough to force them to admit their ignorance.

We are dead meat, people! X( This thang we call President is truly out of control! You do not allow the leader of another country come here and bash us, then wine and dine him! And why the hell is he being allowed to address our Congress and bash us more? Your people are here illegally, dude! You would not allow us to enter YOUR country illegally! Oh sorry...you need the money they send home to make your economy better. How insensitive of me! And what a slap in the face to law enforcement officers to say that this law will be nothing but racial profiling. Are there some rogue cops that MAY abuse this (or any other) law? Yes! But what fockin' part of ILLEGAL is it you don't get, Mr. Socalled President of the USA? Hell, I feel profiled as a caucasian at this point because I see my rights being stolen and given away to those who have not earned them! Holy chit! X( :-s X( :-s :-s

I am wondering if Obama is just making a "show of gesture" by meeting with Mexico's Pres about the immigration law or if he is truly and seriously working with him on one????????

WTF, are we now entertaining the idea of letting other countries leaders help us decide if we should let in their drug cartels, criminals, prisioners, etc??? The whole show makes me ill to think about.

USA leaders had better grow some b@lls or it will get even uglier pretty dang quick.

How many have forgotten when Castro put prisioners on a boat and sent them to the USA?
