Failing to sufficiently appreciate all the hard work Obama's done to secure U.S. borders (which amounts to zero), Arizona enacted a law last week allowing police to check the immigration status of the hordes of illegal invaders in Arizona. Or, to borrow MSM lingo regarding the passage of ObamaCare, Arizona last week SUCCESSFULLY enacted a SWEEPING and HISTORIC and TRANSFORMATIVE and AMBITIOUS measure that Americans have long demanded -- otherwise known as "police work". As a bonus, it doesn't cost a $1 trillion.
In response, renowned immigration expert Barack Obama accused Arizona of 'recklessly' defending itself. He complained that efforts by the Arizona legislature to enact a bill that upholds U.S. law on illegal 'immigration' "threatens to undermine basic notions of fairness." He determined this absent the basic notion of actually reading the bill.
Obama's basic notion of fairness lovingly consists of getting murdered in cold blood on your own property by Mexico-based drug traffickers. Arizona rancher Robert Krentz was recently shot and killed on his own ranch by illegal alien criminals pursuing Obama's basic notion of fairness. (In a mysterious break with past practice, Janet Napolitano didn't immediately say 'the system worked.')
Liberals have been stomping their feet hysterically for weeks because states like Arizona aren't meekly surrendering to ObamaCare. Now libbies are hysterical because Arizona is upholding U.S. law. Just when you think they would say thank you.
Libbies wailing that Arizona is 'usurping' federal law in dealing with the state's 500,000 illegal aliens heap praise on the 'brave' and 'noble' "Sanctuary cities" because they're violating federal law.
In fairness, left-wingers do make exceptions to their love for porous borders. In fact, they can be amazingly pro-enforcement of certain borders -- such as the borders of East Germany during the Cold War, to take just one example off the top of my head. Why, left-winger Erich Honecker was big on border control! East Germans trying to cross over to join the ruthless capitalist hell-hole on the other side were routinely shot and killed by darling East German community organizers, or "border guards." When the Left builds walls and barb wire fences along a border, it's to keep people from escaping their 'superior health care' system and 156% literacy rates.
Just before they decisively lost the Cold War, American liberals warned that the fall of their beloved Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany would magically turn all Germans into Nazis. West Germans weren't sufficiently "de-Nazified" according to liberals, so reunification could mean polluting East German minds with the sick and twisted ideas of private property and "business". Liberals were all in favor of border enforcement then, especially a booby-trapped, barb wired, mine-laced artificial border erected by the 'heroic' East Germans and Soviets. Twenty years later, the closest thing to Hitler isn't Angela Merkel but Ahmadinejad, whom Obama can't suck up enough to.
And, to pick another random example of liberals favoring border control (when it's convenient) -- Cuba. Liberals applauded wildly when Janet Reno saved America from the grave threat of Elian Gonzalez. Interestingly, after the threat was successfully repelled and the little 'reactionary' monster was shipped back to Cuba at gunpoint, we didn't hear the usual babble from liberals about the 'dangers' and 'risks' of 'alienating' the 'Hispanic vote'.
Historically, since most Cubans who fled Castro's 'world-class' socialist achievement have the sense to become Republicans seconds after attaining citizenship, liberals demand strict limits on how many Cubans are allowed to immigrate here, with the goal being zero. If Cuban-Americans were a Democrat voter bloc, Elian wouldn't have been deported.
It all boils down to voter profiling. Liberals have the hots for illegal Mexican and Central American 'immigration' since most eventually vote Democrat upon becoming citizens. With Cuba, liberals demand enforcement of the 'wet feet, dry feet' policy. Libbies howl that in Arizona a speeding van loaded with human 'cargo' and having an expired tag could now arouse 'reasonable suspicion' that something illegal might be happening, yet liberals vigorously chase a little boy back to Cuba because he wasn't a drug trafficker. There's hypocrisy in there somewhere.
Anyway, that's...
My Two Cents
"JohnHuang2" <-- a legal Hispanic who says America could use more Jan Brewers
THIS JUST IN Felipe Calderon is scheduled to address a joint session of Congress May 19 and will be honored at a White House state dinner.
We need to contact our Reps----gutsy Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer who is protecting Americans should be addressing Congress-------not a Mexican President flooding the nation with savage illegals sucking up tax dollars.
Call your Reps now.
She will be a target.
Heaven forbid a woman in power not toe the leftist/progressive line.
My governor, Tax Rev Bev Purdue, is almost as smart as a brick. She firmly entrenched in the Democratic trenches, so you’ll never see the national media target her. The state media might be coming around though.
bttt
The president of the Arizona Cattlemans Assoc. was on FOX this morning saying, “The law was basically for political proposes and that until security issues at the *lawless border* are addressed, no amount of laws/bills will solve the problem”.
JAN BREWER'S MESSAGE ON fACEBOOK: Had such a great time with Sarah Palin last night that we went to the Diamondbacks game today before she left town. It was great talking to her about my efforts here in Arizona of securing our borders, fighting Obama Care and preserving our 2nd Amendment rights.
Ping!
