Don’t blame it all on Arizona. The Grand Canyon State simply happened to be in the right place at the right time to tilt over to the dark side. Its hysteria is but another symptom of a political virus that can’t be quarantined and whose cure is as yet unknown.
If many of Arizona’s defenders and critics hold one belief in common, it’s that the new “show me your papers” law is sui generis: it’s seen as one angry border state’s response to its outsized share of America’s illegal immigration crisis. But to label this development “Arizona’s folly” trivializes its import and reach. The more you examine the law’s provisions and proponents, the more you realize that it’s the latest and (so far) most vicious battle in a far broader movement that is not just about illegal immigrants — and that is steadily increasing its annexation of one of America’s two major political parties.
Arizonans, like all Americans, have every right to be furious about Washington’s protracted and bipartisan failure to address the immigration stalemate. To be angry about illegal immigration is hardly tantamount to being a bigot. But the Arizona law expressing that anger is bigoted, and in a very particular way. The law dovetails seamlessly with the national “Take Back America” crusade that has attended the rise of Barack Obama and the accelerating demographic shift our first African-American president represents.

The NYT and al Qaeda share a common goal: the destruction of America and that is the bottom line.
I’m guessing the NYT sponsored Bolshevik May 1 protests today turned out flat like Lindshay Gaywham in a dress.
Frank Rich sees EVERYTHING through the lens of race.
I wonder how the pro-illegal alien crowd would feel if we adopted Mexico’s own immigration laws.
Just to prove that I am no racist..let’s deport the 100,000 or so Irish illegals first.

Not that the NYT cares, or has the journalistic integrity to research it, but immigrants are already required to carry papers proving their status at all times by federal law.
STFU, Frank. You’re speaking for the minority of America-haters, Socialists, and other left-liberal misfits in this country.
The vast majority of real Americans aren’t paying the slightest attention to what you and your merry band of traitors has to say.
Rich would love to see Israelis killed and the PLO dancing in the streets! And we’re supposed to suck up this swill from NYT POS!? Don’t think so!
how about the real virus of the criminal kind spreading throughout the land..including media who cant report the truth.
The real problem are communists like the ones working at the NYT.
