Arizona Democrats urge Obama not to sue over controversial immigration law

Arizona Democrats facing tough reelection races are distancing themselves from the Obama administration as it prepares to file a lawsuit against the state over its controversial immigration law.

Rep. Harry Mitchell (D-Ariz.) on Monday sent a sharply worded letter to President Barack Obama urging him not to sue.

“I believe your administration’s time, efforts and resources would be much better spent securing the border and fixing our broken immigration system,” the two-term congressman wrote in the letter. “Arizonians are tired of the grandstanding, and tired of waiting for help from Washington. … [A] lawsuit won’t solve the problem. It won’t secure the border, and it won’t fix our broken immigration system.”

This week Mitchell was joined by two other vulnerable Democrats in expressing public opposition to the administration’s legal strategy. Reps. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) are also urging the administration to reconsider its suit.

They may not want 0’ to sue AZ, but they would be happy campers if 0’ would just rule or decree an open boarder (sic!).

Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and shipped to Gitmo to rot with his muslim buddies.

Go a head and sue 0, it will just keep making the rest of us angrier, and memory of that anger fresh for Nov.

Harry, I hope you lose but at least you seem to have a head on your shoulders.

Just like sending lawyers to the Gulf will not stop the leak.

But...but...I thought the law was racist and promoted racial tensions through profiling? If that’s true how can these morally upstanding democrats be for it???? /s

[RJS1950]

The worthless democrats in AZ know that there is already blood in the water, the sharks are circling them and BO is about to dump a large load of chum around them. Go for it BO, piss on your own party in AZ.

There. Fixed.

It’s been almost 2 years & the leftists still haven’t figured out that Obama doesn’t give a rip what they think either.

It’s amazing what a tough reelection battle can do to make someone do the right thing. These Dims are taking on the border enforcement chameleon color of Juan McShame.

Of course if they win reelection, all bets are off since campaign grandstanding will no longer be necessary.

[Pollster1]

The man who would be “Leader of the (formerly) Free World” is losing his status as “Leader of the Democrat Party”. At least the CPUSA still supports him! November will be a beautiful sight.

[Red_Devil 232]

Harry's letter has an expiration date - Nov. 3.

[SoFloFreeper]

They are not worried about the rule of law, they’re merely worried about re-election.

Democrats: disgusting.

[Comparative Advantage]

Giffords needs to go! She’s too liberal (a wolf in sheeps clothing) for that district.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Someone has to get these to Rush immediately.

*******
Call me skeptical. Harry can now hold up this letter during his re-election bid and say “See! I am all for this law.” The Dems are only worried because of the timing, not because they care if there is any merit to the challenge. I say don’t fall for it.

[RJS1950]

No they have not. Their historical counterparts who brought Lenin and Hitler to power never saw the purges or “Night of the Long Knives” coming. BO is no different but they are too stupid to realize that they are nothing more than cannon fodder in his rise to dictatorial power.
