“The difference now is that the highest office in America is siding with a foreign power against one of its own 50 states. “
Obama is fully aware that the Arizona law mirrors the Federal law, yet standing beside the president of a foreign country, Obama took sides with Calderon, against his own country and his own Federal law -— by any standard, traitorous and lawless behavior.
By siding against the United States and the Arizona law that mirrors the Federal law, which he refuses to enforce, Obama makes his clearest statement to date that he is above the law and has an allegiance other than the United States and its Constitution.
There was much to be bothered by in yesterday's display on the White House lawn and siding with a foreign government was too much to ignore.
In his criticism of the Arizona/US law, Obama effectively set the bar for any future immigration legislation. He was very careful to word his statement that the current law has the potential for abuse. Therefore, the standard by which he must measure any subsequent law is set. And it is an impossible standard.
Effectively, under the Obama declaration the border is open.
