Liberal Democrat County Supervisor Peggy West of Milwaukee--strong advocate for the City of Milwaukee to boycott Arizona over SB1070--makes an absolute ass of herself at a meeting discussing the matter (something we have come to expect from pro-illegal alien advocates)

This doesn’t surprise me at all. It’s typical for Milwaukee government.

Other than the gratuitous insults of the fat, ugly and Stuuppid, giving themselves a bad name while on YouTube or Facebook.

Liberalism once again establishes itself as a Mental Disorder!

Somewhere out there is a youtube video of one of the Detroit mob complaining about Kwamee getting in trouble for violating his parole. She says “He only went to Windsor, its not like he left the country or anything.”

Wow, somebody needs to give this woman the Animal House speech - that fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life. Well, in all fairness, I guess we don’t have any evidence that she drinks.

As a native of Indiana let me be among the first to apologize for Wisconsin ~ so near and yet so far across Lake Michigan.

We used to use it as a place to send the ignant ~ then they took over.

Hey you ditz! Arizona’a entire southern border is with Mexico.

By the way just to help educat you on Arizona SB-1070

Reality vs. Myth: SB1070

Make it illegal in the State of Arizona for an alien to not register with the government, thus being an “illegal alien” (already the case at the federal level: 8 USC 1306a; USC 1304e)

Allow police to detain people where there is a “reasonable suspicion” that they’re illegal aliens (see the recent court case Estrada v. Rhode Island for an idea of what “reasonable suspicion” might entail)

Prohibits sanctuary cities (already prohibited at the federal level, 8 USC 1373) and allows citizens to sue any such jurisdiction

Reality vs. Myth: SB1070

Myth No. 1: The law requires aliens to carry identification that they weren’t already required to carry.

Reality: It has been a federal crime (8 United States Code Section 1304(a) or 1306(e)) since 1940 for aliens to fail to carry their registration documents. The Arizona law reaffirms the federal law. Anyone who has traveled abroad knows that other nations have similar requirements. The majority requests for documentation will take place during the course of other police business such as traffic stops. Because Arizona allows only lawful residents to obtain licenses, an officer must presume that someone who produces one is legally in the country. (See News Hour clip 3:45 seconds in)

Myth No. 2: The law will encourage racial profiling.

Reality: The Arizona law reduces the chances of racial profiling by requiring officers to contact the federal government when they suspect a person is an illegal alien as opposed to letting them make arrests on their own assessment as federal law currently allows. Section 2 was amended (by HB2162) to read that a law enforcement official “may not consider race, color, or national origin” in making any stops or determining an alien’s immigration status (previously, they were prohibited in “solely” considering those factors). In addition, all of the normal Fourth Amendment protections against racial profiling still apply.

Myth No. 3: “Reasonable suspicion” is a meaningless term that will permit police misconduct.

Reality: “Reasonable suspicion” has been defined by the courts for decades (the Fourth Amendment itself proscribes “unreasonable searches and seizures”). One of the most recent cases, Estrada v. Rhode Island, provides an example of the courts refining of “reasonable suspicion:”

A 15 passenger van is pulled over for a traffic violation. The driver of the van had identification but the other passengers did not (some had IDs from a gym membership, a non-driver’s license card from the state, and IDs issued from the Guatemalan Consulate). The passengers said they were on their way to work but they had no work permits. Most could not speak English but upon questioning, admitted that they were in the United States illegally. The officer notified ICE and waited three minutes for instructions.

The SB1070 provision in question reads:
“For any lawful contact made by a law enforcement official or agency of this state . . . where reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States, a reasonable attempt shall be made, when practicable, to determine the immigration status of the person.”

Myth No. 4: The law will require Arizona police officers to stop and question people.

Reality: The law only kicks in when a police officer stopped, detained, or arrested someone (HB2162). The most likely contact is during the issuance of a speeding ticket. The law does not require the officer to begin questioning a person about his immigration status or to do anything the officer would not otherwise do.

Only after a stop is made, and subsequently the officer develops reasonable suspicion on his own that an immigration law has been violated, is any obligation imposed. At that point, the officer is required to call ICE to confirm whether the person is an illegal alien.

The Arizona law is actually more restrictive than federal law. In Muehler v. Mena (2005), the Supreme Court ruled that officers did not need reasonable suspicion to justify asking a suspect about their immigration status, stating that the court has “held repeatedly that mere police questioning does not constitute a seizure” under the Fourth Amendment).

To bad, we missed a great opportunity to make her look like an even bigger ass.

“Ms. West, would your opinion change if in fact Arizona did share a border with Mexico? What would you recommend if in fact Arizona did share a border with Mexico? Would you consider the bill appropriate if in fact Arizona did share a border with Mexico?”

To bad they ended the fun early.

How many of brain dead Obama’s 57 states actually border Mexico?

Just Texas - all the rest border Canada. New Mexico would border Arizona if New Mexico were a state.(;>

Hey, don't blame me...I went to an Ivy League school.

That's a rare kind of stoooopid. How stewpid is it? It's beyond mortal description. It's so stuuuupid we've had to bring in comedian Rodney Dangerfield to describe just how steaupid it is.

RD: Thanks MB, glad to be here. And I'll tall ya, that's a stoooopid girl. Really stoooopid. She's a couple of terrorists short of a Jihad. No really, her sewing machine's out of thread if you know what I mean.

Hey, I'm not kidding.... she thinks a quarter horse is that thing in front of the Wal-Mart. Woah! She'e only about four foot nothin', and still a little too tall for her blood supply. Sheesh.

When I think of all the people I respect the most, she's right there, serving them drinks. No really, she's a couple of dilithium crystals short of a warp core. Hey, show a little respect.

Our MPS stoodents are not very geographically literate. I once went round and round with a lady at work who insisted that “AR-kin-SAW” and “Ar-CAN-zus” were two separate states.

My daughter and I were talking the other day about how the country is split 3 ways. One third are freedom loving conservatives; one third are hate America far out leftists; and one third don’t have a clue. After watching this bimbo Milwaukee supervisor, I’ve got to think there is a considerable overlap between the leftists and the clueless.

Watched her drone on and on in the video and still have no clue what she is saying. Reminds me of Miss Teen South Carolina.
