GOP lawmaker blasts Mexican pres. comments as inappropriate By Jordy Yager - 05/20/10 03:25 PM ET
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) blasted Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Thursday, calling the visiting dignitary’s remarks on Arizona’s recently implemented immigration law “inappropriate.”
Earlier Thursday, Calderon condemned Arizona’s new immigration law during a speech to a joint session of Congress, saying it amounts to little more than racial profiling and that the United States is in need of comprehensive immigration reform.
“It’s inappropriate for a head of state to question our laws, especially when the state of Arizona only acted in the best interest of its citizens and with the support of seventy percent of its people,” said Hatch in a statement.
Hatch said Arizona was forced to pass the immigration law — which compels state law enforcement officials to require proper legal residency papers from people they suspect may be in the U.S. illegally — because of the federal government’s failure to stop drug and human smugglers, as well as illegal immigrants, from coming across the U.S.-Mexico border.
“The state of Arizona is stepping in where the federal government has failed,” said Hatch. “It is trying to stop waves of illegal immigrants, many of whom are dangerous gang members and drug and human traffickers, from crossing into its communities."
Tell it, Brother!
I believe my version of “blasted” is a bit different from Hatch’s version. There’s a lot more that could be said. You gonna blast, then blast!
Hey Orrin! Why didn’t you an your OP(formerly the GOP) colleagues make a more definitive statement by walking out?
Orrin, didja stand up during his speech, shout that to him, and storm out???
Then shut up. “Inappropriate”, my foot. Tell Calderone to get the hell out of MY country if he doesn’t like OUR laws. He’s certainly good at telling his own people to leave Mayheeco and cross illegally into the United States of America!! >:-(
Ummm. I better hear every single GOP’r speak and not in PC either I want emotion pure emotion about what that asshat did in that chamber. I want someone speaking from the heart not a press release using careful language. Lets get dirty folks.
Calderon can take a hike back across the border and take Obama with him.
Not a blast, but what is more inappropriate is our cowardly presidents words.
But they all sat right there and let him say it without walking out. Tells me the repubs should just shut up.
To those of our government and those of the Mexican government I would ask.........”What would you do about the over 400,000 illegals from Mexico that now reside in Arizona? What would you do about the border?”
Alright Hatch!
I never paid much attention to him, but wow!
Finally, a statesman...in Washington!
Man, they are a scarce breed.
He must feel like Jimmy Stewart did when he was Mr. Smith
EXACTLY!!!!!!! Not one of these ass-clowns in Congress has the balls (or huevos) to do ANYTHING that may make them look bad, but stick a mic and a camera in front of them, and they talk tougher than a two dollar steak.
I heard Laura Ingraham interview him the other day....Hatch was an ass. And Laura handed his head to him...........
@%#!! RINO..!!
The Mexican fool already answered that with Wolfie Blitz: he said his country deports those found in the country illegally. Of course, being the socialist shill that he is, he would likely be hypocritical and say the illegal Mexicans should be given amnesty.
WEAK...retire soldier...make way for a warrior!
For this is a WAR Hatch, don’t you know this?????
Finally, a statesman...in Washington!
That same ‘statesman’ tried to get changes to the Presidential requirements per Constitution so that Swartzenfraud could run for president.
Right! And he can take Pelosi, Reid, Al "at one time I was a funnyman but now I'm just a clown" Franken, Boxer, Napolitano,Michael Moore, Sean Penn, Chris Rock, Woody Allen, Johnny Depp, and 40 million of his countrymen that are here illegally back home with him. We will gladly pay an increase in taxes to send them all to Mexico, if they promise never to return. We'll reap the benefits tenfold after they're all gone!
“Hatch said Arizona was forced to pass the immigration law —”
Yes, and HATCH was part of the squatter support squad that allowed it! Hypocrites! They’re all changing their tune these days.

You obviously don’t know Hatch.............
Its illegal ALIEN Hatch, NOT illegal “immigrant”.
The two terms are mutually contradictory in this sense.

Contact information for the Mexican Consulate.
They have a phone and e-mail address so we can tell them exactly what we think of that nervy little pygmy president of theirs lecturing AMERICA on AMERICA’s foreign and domestic policies.
