Rove says he has "problems" with AZ immigration law

THE VILLAGES – Karl Rove, chief political strategist for former President George W. Bush, today questioned a controversial new Arizona law designed to cut down on illegal immigration by making it a crime to not produce proof of citizenship when a law enforcement officer demands it.

Rove, speaking to a crowd of about 500 at the mammoth senior community as part of a national book tour, said that while the law is understandable, it does present difficulties. The law has become the nation’s toughest anti-immigration measure.

“I think there is going to be some constitutional problems with the bill,” he said to the standing-room-only crowd at the Colony Cottage Recreation Center. “I wished they hadn’t passed it, in a way.”

He is right in that there will be Constitutional arguments only in the sense that the national borders are a federal matter, not state. But of course, we know how interested the feds are in closing our borders, protecting the national security and stopping illegal immigration....(barf)

Republicans are scared of the MSM/DNC/Hollwood/Academia war room.

As usual, we are on our own.

I wonder does Rove even know what the law does? Hey Rove, it’s just enforcement of federal law. You know, what you and Bush promised would be doen in 2007.

I wonder does he know that green card holders right now have to produce their papers when stopped by LEO? I have a friend who has a green card, she has to produce her green card every time the LEO says something like license and registration.

Imagine this...five thousand leftists arrive in Arizona over the weekend and every time a cop asks who they are...the response is “Juan Lopez”...with no ID on them. In fact, folks could walk up to the cops and insist they are illegal...and crush the state’s law enforcement system easily.

This Arizona illegal-immigrant law is concentrating minds wonderfully on the issue of the Federal role in defending the border and on State sovereignty.

The Federal Government admits it incompetent to its Federal duty of protecting against invasion, but seeks to prevent a State from fending for itself.

The Feds can't have it both ways.

“I think there is going to be some constitutional problems with the bill,”

Well what part of the federal law does he have a problem with?

So, it’s a crime not to produce identification when a cop requests it. But that doesn’t apply to citizenship?

OTH, I still can see a lot of “Cheech Marins” being stuck on the wrong side of the border because they didn’t have a birth certificate in their pocket.

Seriously, if a cop asked you today to prove you’re a citizen, what document would you show to convince him?
