Obama Seeks Immigration Overhaul, Slams Arizona Law
The Age ^ | April 25, 2010 | RANDAL ARCHIBOLD

THE signing into law of America's toughest bill on illegal immigration has led to immediate protests, reignited the divisive battle over immigration reform and angered the US President.

Even before Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed the bill - aimed at identifying, prosecuting and deporting illegal immigrants - President Barack Obama strongly criticised it.

Speaking at a naturalisation ceremony for 24 active-duty service members in Washington's Rose Garden, he called for a federal overhaul of immigration laws, which congressional leaders signalled they were preparing to take up soon, to avoid ''irresponsibility by others''.

He said the Arizona law, enacted on Friday US time, threatened ''to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and our communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe''.

[snip] Mexico's foreign ministry said in a statement that it was worried about the rights of its citizens and relations with Arizona.

Profiling is all smoke and mirrors but heads the list of the Obama "fears" on obeying the LAW. How many red headed or blonde blue or green-eyed people will cross over into AZ, TX, or CA?

Obama is worried about his SEIU votes......Arizona is doing (at last) the right thing...Obama has no constitutional standing on his argument.....but then when did that ever bother him.

Ok, that seriously made me laugh. What an imbecile. No, he is not stupid. He is just very, VERY dangerous in his position. A bad man with little power is not that dangerous. A bad man in a position of power is very dangerous indeed, as history has proven.

Profiling is one of the police’s most powerful weapons. Period.

Look for Obama and his kissers to withhold federal assist money for law enforcement and other things to make Arizona change law. They will make Arizona legislature miserable with federal arrows. It won’t take Obama long to figure out how to do it.

Amen. I’m so glad Arizona is showing common sense and backbone.

Funny how creeps like BO slam “profiling” guilty criminals, illegals, or terrorists, yet have no problem profiling innocent white conservatives.

You know there are things that legal Hispanics can do if they don’t want to be profiled, or at least to make the profiling as painless as possible:
1) Carry a passport.
2) LEARN ENGLISH

The second one is interesting, since learning English pretty much makes these people into mainstream Americans, generally doing quite well and often voting conservative...which is EXACTLY why we have bilingual education.

I hope Arizona is ready to fight back and make known just how bad conditions are because the federal government refuses to help by enforcing our laws. Arizona wouldn’t have to pass a law like this if Washington would get serious about protecting our borders.

Obamao knows his tyranny will collapse without the help of foreign invaders.

How illegals can come here and support politicians who intend to make the US as bad or worse than the places they’ve come from amazes me. I know they are filled with hate and envy, anti-American ignorance that prevails in this socialist world and among our liberals, but it seems a smidgen of reason would set in, and make illegals realize that we are the last best chance they have to escape poverty. Why ruin it? They are like looters in a crisis, getting what they can, and our liberals are holding the doors for them. Obamao and his ilk are criminal scum. I bet he cheered when the LA rioters dragged the truck driver onto the street and bashed his brains in. Illegals and the La Raza ignorance provide the same kind of thrill.

“But what really struck me was the venue; he made these political comments at a naturalization ceremony, a wholly inappropriate place for such a thing. I’ve spoken at a number of such events (see here, for instance) and you’re specifically instructed not to talk about politics, with good reason. This is supposed to be about welcoming our new countrymen, patriotism, the rights and duties of citizenship, and maybe an anecdote from your own immigrant background.”

Note to AZ legislature for future law: any persons granted shamnesty to be considered illegals for the purposes of law enforcement.

Diva Obama hasn't been this angry since he was advised that seeking the presidency would require that he marry a woman.
