it’s not ignorance or misconception. it’s deliberate misinformation designed to undermine the law
BINGO
I turned to Imus in the Morning on Fox Business the other day and Gov Richardson was on yaking his stupid head off about the law. Bless Imus (who I don’t really like) he did call the Gov on his assertion that the law said AZ police could pull over suspicious people and ask for their papers just because they looked or sounded Hispanic. The Gov sort of backed down (and said he had not read the law). But he never admitted he was lying about what the law states. They never do, and I don’t believe for one minute that they haven’t read the law. They are lying liars.
“it’s not ignorance or misconception. it’s deliberate misinformation designed to undermine the law”
Nailed it!
A note from Mike Cutler.
Hi Gang:
I have attached a pair of news reports below. The first is a report that appeared in the May 27the edition of the Washington Times that was written by Stephen Dinan, one of the most experienced journalists who has been covering the immigration issue for quite a few years.
The second news report was prepared by Fox News on May 26th and addressed extraordinarily worrisome information that DHS is concerned that terrorists from Somalia may be seeking to enter the United States by running our nation’s border in Texas.
Now stop and put both stories together- the United States Senate has refused funding to station 6,000 national guard troops on the border that is supposed to separate our nation from Mexico although the previous day’s report disclosed that DHS is now concerned about the infiltration of terrorists into our country along the Mexican border!
There has been no shortage of news reports about the utterly unacceptable situation that exists along our nation’s border that is supposed to separate the United States from Mexico but this takes the lunacy to an unbelievable level!
I am convinced that the planet earth has fallen into a worm hole and we are now in a parallel universe!
The administration has vilified Jan Brewer, the Arizona Governor who beyond anything the “leaders” in Washington could imagine- actually took the safety of the citizens into account and lived up to her responsibilities to provide for the safety and security of the folks who live in her state, as did the members of Arizona’s legislature who acted to fill the gaping void created by Washington’s failures to secure our nation’s borders and enforce our nation’s immigration laws.
Governor Brewer and the other true leaders of her state also apparently listened to the vast majority of the citizens of Arizona who were justifiably angered and concerned about the many issues that our nation’s virtually open borders have created for the citizens of that state. Case in point- the fact that, as I have been discussing in many of my recent commentaries, Phoenix, Arizona has become the “Kidnap and Home Invasion Capital” of the United States and probably the entire Western Hemisphere! It is believed that the vast majority of these crimes are committed by members of the Mexican drug cartels and members of other transnational gangs.
What state would want to post that sort of unique situation on travel brochures?
Providing national guard troops along the border would be helpful but only if many other steps would be taken and unbelievably, the United States senate has now blocked the deployment of those national guard troops!
Consider these two links of news reports broadcast by Atlanta-based television station WSB-TV that addresses the national security implications of our nation’s open borders:

I probably should not be amazed when you consider that just last week, on May 20th, Felipe Calderon, the President of Mexico, the country that is sends our nation more illegal aliens than any other country in the world and the country through which more narcotics flow en route to the United States was invited to address the United States Congress and called for the enactment of Comprehensive Immigration Reform and condemned the government of the State of Arizona for enacting legislation that was enacted to discourage illegal aliens from coming to Arizona and setting up shop!
What is absolutely amazing is that Calderon’s remarks were greeted with a standing ovation by members of the United States government who were sworn to uphold our nation’s Constitution and laws and protect the sovereignty of this nation!
Here is a video of that disgusting moment:

I would love to know the last time an American president or president of any other country, for that matter, has ever gone to Mexico to complain about the abysmal way that the citizens of that wealthiest of Latin American countries treats its citizens and, in fact, encourages them to violate the borders of the United States and the laws of the United States to take menial jobs under substandard conditions and send money back to Mexico? Indeed, it is common knowledge that the government of Mexico has provided its citizens with comic book style training manuals and even video tapes that aid its citizens by instructing them as to how best evade the United States Border Patrol!
In point of fact, the terms “Encourages” and “Aids” where it applies to those who encourage and aid aliens in entering our country illegally, represents a violation of our nation’s immigration laws. Check out this link to Title 8, United States Code, Section 1324:

I agree. Further, the “press” frequent reference to “racism” demonstrates that they believe that people are still effected by the terms usage. The statistics favoring the law demonstrates calling something “racist” may be losing its sting.
