Arizona takes on illegal immigrationUpright


"President Obama called the Arizona [immigration] law misguided. What's
misguided, Mr. President, is the federal government's ongoing refusal to
enforce the laws that are already on the books. Read the Arizona law. Parts of
it are word-for-word the same as the federal statutes which continue to be all
but ignored." --CNN's Jack Cafferty



"It is passing strange for federal officials, including the president, to
accuse Arizona of irresponsibility while the federal government is refusing to
fulfill its responsibility to control the nation's borders. Such control is an
essential attribute of national sovereignty. America is the only developed
nation that has a 2,000-mile border with a developing nation, and the
government's refusal to control that border is why there are an estimated
460,000 illegal immigrants in Arizona and why the nation, sensibly insisting
on first things first, resists 'comprehensive' immigration reform." --
columnist George Will


"In terms of resources and in terms of political will, it has become
abundantly clear that the federal government refuses to make the right
decisions in terms of enforcing the law and making the critical reforms
necessary to drive down illegal immigration. Sadly, efforts in Congress have
been more about gaining political votes through an unnecessary amnesty than on
honest and effective reforms." --columnist Jena McNeill, Heritage Foundation


"If a state, or nation, has laws it will not enforce for political reasons, it
mocks both the law and politics, to say nothing of the cultural order."
--columnist Cal Thomas


"The election we need so desperately is coming. There's an intermediate need
as well: namely, to balk or slow down the administration's initiatives until
the debate -- if there ever is a debate -- can commence and the people,
knowing what they now know, can say how they truly would like things to be.

The establishment, if this happens, will prate about 'obstructionism.' Fine.

We're traveling about 150 miles an hour right now as we weave down the
political superhighway. Flashing red and blue lights behind us would be a
sight for sore eyes." --columnist William Murchison


Editorial Exegesis


"Arizona's new immigration law shows what happens when a state on the front
lines of a failed immigration policy reaches the bursting point. What you get
is a blunt instrument that produces lawsuits, more political polarization (if
that's possible) and the risk of hostility between the local police and the
public. The law makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. without proper
documents. It allows the police to stop anyone on 'reasonable suspicion' that
they may be in the country unlawfully and arrest them on the spot if they
can't produce identity papers. The police aren't required to have a search
warrant or  even to suspect some illegal action has occurred before
questioning a person.


Traditionally the federal government has enforced immigration laws, so this is
an extraordinary state criminalization of a heretofore federal authority. ...


The loud voices denouncing 'Arizona' should understand that the results of the
nation's failed immigration policies have come down on this state. ...


Congressional Democrats have no intention of enacting serious immigration
reform before November. President Obama is surely playing politics with the
situation in Arizona for gain in the fall. He'd like to pick a fight and
define Republicans as anti-Hispanic going into the election, without having to
propose anything substantive. We'd support a national immigration reform that
was realistic about the fact that most of these are economic migrants who will
find a way to come here in any case if this is where the jobs are. The most
effective way to reduce illegal entries and defuse these tensions is to expand
legal channels, including guest worker programs. This would reduce illegal
immigration and free up security resources to threats from drug gangs and the
like. But so long as Republicans, Democrats and Mr. Obama mainly view
immigration as an electoral weapon, the nation can expect more desperate laws
like Arizona's." --The Wall Street Journal
Insight


"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we
created them." --theoretical physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955)


"The greater the power the more dangerous the abuse." --British statesman
Edmund Burke (1729-1797)


Dezinformatsia

Stirring the melting pot: "Now to the growing national backlash against the
state of Arizona over its tough new immigration law that says police can stop
people just on the suspicion they might be there illegally." --NBC's Brian
Williams


"It's now gone beyond protest to threats of a boycott, as Arizona becomes a
laughing stock to some." --NBC's Andrea Mitchell


"Critics are having a field day with this, Sheriff Arpaio, as you know. Some
are calling for a business boycott of the state of Arizona. The Homeland
Security Secretary, used to be the governor of Arizona, says she doesn't like
this, this bill. Editorial cartoons are making fun of it. Here's one where a
guy goes up to a fast food counter and orders nachos and is immediately
surrounded by police for probable cause. Are you worried that it affects the
image of your state?" --NBC's Matt Lauer to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio


"Let me talk about the politics of this. It's forcing the president to address
immigration policy. It's forcing Republicans and Democrats to wrangle with it.


But what really is driving voters and emotion right now are jobs and the
economy. Is this a bad issue politically at this time?" --MSNBC's Contessa
Brewer



"Law Makes it a Crime to be Illegal Immigrant." --MSNBC on-screen caption --
begging the question, "What part of 'illegal' doesn't MSNBC understand?"
