After appearing before Congress and attacking Arizonas new illegal immigration law, Mexican president Felipe Calderón appeared on CNN to talk shop with Wolf Blitzer. Blitzer, rather surprisingly, turned the tables on the president, opting to ask him instead about his countrys immigration laws, and whether they were just as strict (if not stricter) than Arizonas. Calderón admitted that laws were stringent in the past but clarified that it is currently not illegal to be undocumented in Mexico.
Citing a Washington Times article explaining Mexican immigration laws that incriminated those who willfully participated in illegal immigration or helped illegal immigrants, Blitzer asked President Calderón to contrast those laws with Arizonas. Calderón replied that, while the Times assessment used to be true, it is no longer, and immigration cannot be illegal in Mexico. Of course, on the border, we are asking people Who are you? explained Calderón, and Once they are inside the country, what the Mexican police do is, of course, enforce the law, but any means immigration is a crime anymore in Mexico
if someone does that, we find them and sending [sic] them back.

Give ‘em hell, Wolh!
Megyn Kelly dropped what I think is a bombshell on Bill O’Reilly’s show. O’Reilly asked her if she had read the Arizona law and she said that she had read it, and that she had also looked into case law. In her research, she discovered that as a result of an 8-0 Unites States Supreme Court decision, FEDERAL officials do not need probable cause to question someone about their immigration status. Not prior violation of the law needs to precede the request. That is actually much more lenient than the Arizona law which requires that someone must be suspected of breaking a law before questions can be asked about their legal status!
It looks like Blitzer is jumping on the anti-illegals bandwagon. It could be pure opportunism, an attempt to boost CNN's low ratings. Yet I recall reading something else positive about Blitzer recently.
People do change, occasionally. If David Horowitz can repudiate his Commie past, perhaps some of the MSM pundits can at least moderate their liberal views. (Of course, I am an inveterate optomist.)
It is of significance to me that today there is more support for Arizona's new law (around 60%) than Zero received in November 2008 (53%)!
AMEN!!
Good for Wolf.
And 10 people saw it.
And those people were either in an airport, a prison or a hospital bed (and unable to reach the remote).
Worth repeating.
President Obama and President Calderon both owe the citizens of the Unites States an apology
He demonstrated a lack of grace and class. But enough about Obama.
Maybe he had an awakening when Campbell Brown quit. She said her ratings were bad, and maybe ol’ Wolfie began to reflect on his own ratings.
As soon as the teleprompters are loaded, you are in for a verbal whupp-ass! You, you BIRTHER! Aunt B, do not encourage Doughty! The fireworks will start right after tea with Aunt Zeituni.
As for el Presidente Calderón, why who could ask for a better neighbor?! If you're stuck in El Slavador or Whatamala, his administration will wish you godspeed and see that you efficiently reach Arizona, Texas, or Clownifornia ... after they rob you, rape you, and rip you off, that is. But hey, they at least get the job done!
Had I been on the floor of Congress, I too would have risen to my feet to salute el Pendejo Máximo de la República Méxicana, in fact I would have served este bastardo an Americano treat, A Knuckle Sandwich, followed by a point after touchdown. Can you believe that traitorous display by the Democrats?
He’s probably just trying to prop up CNN’s crappy ratings...
Here’s the video of Megyn Kelly on O’Reilly when she dropped the bombshell http://bit.ly/cqGYxo
Wolf Blitzer did real good...... He’s a liberal but Rush and Beck both find him somewhat reasonable and they have both dealt w him face to face
Thanks!!!
