WASHINGTON (AP) - Confronting soaring frustration over illegal immigration, President Barack Obama on Wednesday condemned Arizona's crackdown and pushed instead for a federal fix the nation could embrace. He said that will never happen without Republican support, pleading: "I need some help."
In asking anew for an immigration overhaul, Obama showed solidarity with his guest of honor, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who called Arizona's law discriminatory and warned Mexico would reject any effort to "criminalize migration." The United States and Mexico share a significant economic and political relationship that stands to be damaged the more the nations are at odds over immigration, which affects millions of people on both sides of the border.

Okay, FReeper law scholars, et al!—THIS MAN TOOK AN OATH TO DEFEND THIS COUNTRY FROM ENEMIES BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.
These public comments CONDEMNING ONE OF THE UNITED STATES has got to be breaking SOME sort of law here! Perjury? Something??
There has got to be a way to get this fool to SHUT UP ALREADY.
WE ALREADY HAVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION LAWS. THEY ARE GOOD ONES, JUST ENFORCE THEM ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!
It will not be a fix, but, a sell out.
A few summers ago, I spent three weeks driving around the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico visiting Mayan ruins. A couple of episodes stood out:
1.) When driving on the road near the Guatemalan border, there was a checkpoint manned by Mexican Army troops, armed with M-16's, on the look out for illegal Guatemalan border crossers. Our "check" was merely visual: "White family, expensive rented SUV, blond kids". We were waved right on through without even a word exchanged. Seems that there was definitely some "racial profiling" going on.
2.) I had an interesting conversation in Spanish with the Mexican owner of some beach cabanas we stayed at. Since I am Cuban-born and fluent in Spanish, he talked about the "Americanos" as if I didn't "represent that remark".
He told me that the illegalmmigration problem was the fault of the Americanos.
"Why?", I asked.
Essentially, he said that the Americanos don't say what they mean and don't mean what they say. On the one hand, the Americanos say that they do not want illegal immigration from Mexico. On the other hand, when a illegal immigrant gets to America, he is showered with benefits, he is given a drivers licenses, his "rights" are championed, yada, yada, yada.
The man was absolutely right ...... except for the fact that he was talking about American liberal with American liberal guilt.
The Mexicans themselves have no such guilt. They know perfectly well what to do with illegal Guatemalan border-crossers.
To use a Latin expression, Obama and American liberals are pegged by Mexicans as "comemierdas". The literal translation is "sh!t-eater". The meaning is "chump", "fool", "pigeon", "patsy", "moron".
"Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who called Arizona's law discriminatory and warned Mexico would reject any effort to 'criminalize migration'."
When Mexicans see that on TV with Obama solemnly nodding in agreement, Mexicans are peeing with their pants in laughter at the Comemierda-in-Chief of the United States of America.
Obama’s entire life is a lie. Why would he be bothered with some silly oath?
Hell, many of our citizens (US) face rape, death, robbery, and murder every day because of your country and your citizens (read: criminals) pouring into ours.
Woman Gang-Raped by Illegal Aliens
Muchos muchos for that, you pig Calderon.
Yup - that's the "plan."
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
If the American people buy this sham again, they are guilty of betraying their own nation.
He is using this opportunity to campaign for open borders. Recognize that the Mexicans will enjoy Duel Citizenship.
He wants the comprehensive immigration reform passed. He's bitchin about the "recently adopted law in Arizona".
Tell me, Calderon...what does an MS-13 gang member look like? Do their skin heads and tattoo's and hand signs they are so proud of amount to "profiling"?
How do we identify them if not by the way they look?
