The last few days have seen an extraordinary outburst of criticism of Arizona’s new immigration law. In the nation’s elite media outlets, its most respected commentators are portraying the law as an act of police-state repression. Many, if not all, of the specific criticisms can be refuted simply by reading the law itself, but others are more generalized criticisms of immigration enforcement. In any event, it’s hard to choose the most over-the-top and wrongheaded commentary on the law, but here are ten choices, in no particular order. (If you don’t know why a particular statement is wrong, you can check here, and here, and here, and here.)
1. “The statute requires police officers to stop and question anyone who looks like an illegal immigrant.”
2. “As the Arizona abomination makes clear, there is a desperate need for federal immigration action to stop the country from turning into a nation of vigilantes suspicious of anybody with dark skin.”
– Dana Milbank, Washington Post
3. “I can’t imagine Arizonans now reverting to German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques whereby people are required to turn one another in to the authorities on any suspicion of documentation.”

Roger Hedgecock on radio 600 San Diego suggested the republicans should announce the 2012 convention will be in Phoenix. Good stuff.”
Roger would make a good Senate candidate. Maybe he should move to Arizona.
Close to one of the tag lines I use:
If it wasn't for double-standards the Left would have no standards.

Malaysia, and Singapore do the same thing.
I love that! I have been posting the graphic around, too. I hope it’s okay with whoever I stole it from (was it you?) because I forgot to ask and now can’t remember.
It’s all good, though.
Several have commented to me how great it is. One liked it
so much he wrote Gov. Brewer to thank her and included
the graphic.
Spread it around. It is too the point!
It’s also just beaming with American spirit and taking-care-of-business. It’s the REAL can-do spirit.
I actually sent it to Drudge & said, hey, you gotta use this on your next AZ headline.
