Right-wingers finally get something they want

Who would have guessed illegal immigrants are opposed to a law that would allow state law enforcement to deport illegal immigrants?

I sure would not have. But now right-wing nut jobs (called “sane people” in some circles) have what they’ve always wanted. Liberals are finally taking a look at the constitution. Yes, thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of illegals in Arizona have suddenly become constitutionalists. They argue that the state is out of its jurisdiction to use its power against illegal immigrants, which are still members of foreign states.

The lame stream media is quick to jump on board with their somewhat belated concern for the U.S. Constitution. And because, naturally, all Americans are heartless, cold-blooded racists, they have deduced that the law will inevitably lead to “racial profiling.” Heaven forbid a Latino be asked to show his green card. The experience might traumatize him for life.

To some members of the media, asking law breakers (as the bill dictates) to show their green card is the equivalent of throwing Jews into Auschwitz. The law will simply shatter our civil rights. It will revert us back to pre-civil rights, Jim Crow America.

Taking a somewhat different approach, the Obama Administration has focused its creative energies on coming up with unique excuses to oppose the law, like Janet Napaletino’s line that the new state law would siphon away federal money and staff needed to hunt down dangerous immigrants. And Eric Holder’s deep concern for the “wedge it could draw between communities that law enforcement is supposed to serve.” Obama and his cabinet will argue anything to protect their constituents, which in this case happens to be illegal immigrants living in Arizona.

What can be done to counter arguments of this nature when any attempt to do so becomes like arguing with your little brother?

You act like a socialist when you use other people’s money to bailout the financial system.

“I know you are, but what am I?”

You act like a racist when you obsess over race and label others as racists when they oppose your ideology.

“I know you are, but what am I?”

You act like an enemy of the state when you seek to open its borders and endanger its people for political reasons.

“I know you are, but what am I?

Does the argument ever end? I’d like to imagine what would happen if one day Obama confessed that he was Santa Claus. Would a portion of Americans still believe him? Would the main stream media be able to find pundits to support such a claim? They somehow found pundits to claim, despite a few things Jesus might have said, that Christianity is about bringing “social justice” to the earth. They found pundits to argue, with a straight face, that tea party activists are violent hate mongers. It is certainly not out of the range of possibilities.

A portion of people living in America are bound to a cause they don’t see or even understand. Some of them have very vague delusions of participating in a sort of extension of the civil rights movement. Some of them don’t have the inclination, nor the time, to remain educated on the issues. Some of them are just downright complicit. We call those people Socialists, Marxists and illegal immigrants. The latter of which are understandably complicit (who wouldn’t want to come to America?) but are nonetheless subservient to a highly corrupt political power which feeds on their energies.

The notion that state governments cannot enforce federal laws is absurd. Before the turn of the century, the FBI did not even exist. Who do they think enforced federal laws?

If the border jumpers are in Phoenix rooting for "Los Suns" then Holder has failed. Holder has not served his community well.
