Obama: Arizonans “irresponsible” for immigration-enforcement vote
Hot Air ^ | APRIL 23, 2010 | ED MORRISSEY

Border states have become frustrated beyond all patience with the federal government’s inability — and reluctance — to enforce immigration laws. In Arizona, voters passed a law authorizing local and state police to investigate potential immigration violations, a measure that had overwhelming and bipartisan support in the state. Instead of acknowledging the failure of several administrations to deal with immigration violations, including his own, Barack Obama lashed out at the state’s voters instead — and threatened to pursue civil-rights legal actions against them:

I guess if he said they “acted stupidly” he’d have to take Sheriff Joe Arpaio out for a beer...

Yeah, Hitler wasn’t particularly excited about that Churchill speech either. Deal with it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This must be driving the usurper-in-chief crazy. He’ll probably chain-smoke a pack over this and down a fifth of scotch (or whatever commies drink—vodka?).

Against the citizens of the state?
Insane.

Is there such a thing as an illegal alien? If so, then we should be able to arrest them for being here illegally. If not, then we don’t need borders.

Look, every visual ethnicity in this country might one day have to pay in police suspicion for what their similar-looking brethren did. I know a million Jewish, Italian, and Hispanic people who have been profiled during plane travel because they look like they might be Muslim men. Anyone looking Hispanic might get profiled for appearing illegal. GET OVER IT.

When a blonde woman blows up a tower or kidnaps a kid, I might get pulled over. I can deal with it.

People who look Hispanic might get mistaken for an illegal in Arizona. So? If you are an American or legal resident in Arizona, and you have a Mexican or Latino background, I’d advise you to learn English, dress American, or deal with getting pulled over. Your cousins from across the border are the problem, NOT the cops.

This Lady Freeper wishes the same thing. The Fuhrer can shove his opinion where the sun don’t shine, IMO.

Obozo calling anyone irresponsible is hypocrisy of the highest order.

Did I hear this correctly? The President of the United States, refusing to direct his own bureaucratic apparatus to enforce the laws of the United States, has stated that it’s “irresponsible” for state and local authorities to enforce those laws he won’t?

What kind of nuthouse are we living in?

Well, OK, I’ll accept that. I would certainly hope that state and local authorities also find it “irresponsible” to cooperate in any way with the IRS in confiscating my money.
