So much for worrying about racial profiling at ice cream shops, Mr. President
Washington Times-Water Cooler ^ | 5-10-10 | Kerry Picket

Arizona's newly passed immigration law took heat from President Barack Obama in late April at a campaign style event in Iowa when he said, "Now, suddenly, if you don't have your papers, and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you're going to get harassed."

Either Mr. Obama completely misunderstood the Arizona immigration law that goes into effect in mid-August, or he was blatantly mis-leading the American public on what the law really entails. Unless, an individual is violating a law, for example around an ice-cream shop in Arizona, his or her legal status will not be questioned.

Unfortunately, Mr. Obama's ice cream shop example falls flat even further, because if Colorado had the same law in place that Arizona just passed recently a little boy and two women killed at a Colorado ice cream shop in 2008 may be alive today.

obama’s history is wrong (that american mexicans were here before arizona was a state):

1. the few mexicans on this side of the border, in the land that mexico claimed,

could not defend themselves against the apaches and comanches.

2. only upon the arrival of the u.s. calvary was it safe for mexicans to live in the american southwest.

3. most of the mexicans the early 20th c arrived as refugees from the mexican revolution.

si.

It is important to note that almost HALF of illegal aliens in the US are not Mexican border crossers, but legal visitors who have overstayed their visas. To make matters far worse, there are just minimal efforts to police up all of these other illegals:

http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/05/10/20100510illegal-immigrants-overstay.html

“The Border Patrol’s Tucson sector, the busiest in the nation, logged 112,488 apprehensions last fiscal year. In comparison, federal agents in Arizona tracked down and arrested 27 people who had overstayed their visas.”

“Visa violators represent nearly half of the 11 million illegal immigrants in the country. But they have been largely ignored...”

“In the past five years, the number of Border Patrol agents stationed along the U.S.-Mexico line has doubled, to more than 20,000 people...On average, the 272 investigators assigned to the (visa overstay) unit arrest 1,400 visa violators (nationwide) a year, Morton said.”

"Now, suddenly, if you don't have your papers, and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you're going to get harassed."

How a Community Organizer thinks...ridicule the opposition.....Obama's classless dumbA remark! Obama follows Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals - Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

He’s a liar, that’s how he got elected and it’s how he governs, lies, upon lies, upon even more lies.
