Let me understand, The Obama and his Democrat minions are pissed at Arizona. You see, The Grand Canyon State has had the gall to pass a law that says the State will enforce the Federal laws already on the books regarding individuals who enter the Nation illegally.
The people of Arizona think that if you commit a crime you should pay the price. You Arizonians sure have crazy ideas, according to The Obama. In this case, if you are in Arizona (and thus the USA) illegally, the State will detain you and do their best to have you deported. Like many Americans, the people of Arizona believe that your first act upon American soil should not be a crime. In spite of everything you have heard from the amnestyites, law breakers are not model citizens.
But Hoosierboy, this might lead to profiling. Police profile every day, and you are happy they do. Say a guy wearing a red shirt and jeans robs a bank. Would it be reasonable to stop individuals wearing a red shirt and jeans near the just-robbed bank? If we know the robber was a young male wearing a red shirt and jeans would we expect the authorities to question elderly gents in Dockers and blue shirts? Should women be stopped to make sure young men are not profiled? If the robber is white should black youths in red shirts be questioned, just to be fair?
Look, if you are pulled over and you have no drivers licence, no proof of insurance, do not speak English and your car is stolen, it is not unreasonable to question if you have a legal right to be in the State of Arizona.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I see no problem checking for feathers and web feet.

ReplyDeleteYeah. Couldn't agree more.
But if you were the illegal in the above scenario, wouldn't you be more likely to "put the pedal to the metal"?
I fear we'll see a huge increase in hot pursuits and innocent deaths because of them.
This "no profiling" idiocy is why we have to put up with long lines and invasive search techniques at TSA checkpoints.
ReplyDeleteWe should do it the Israeli way.
We're gonna do this in Michigan next and get all those illegal Canucks back across the border. Hard to tell 'em from the yoopers though.
ReplyDeleteThe OMFR Papist owners are really going to get upset with Obama if he doesn't smack Arizona down: This could easily cut into their slave supply if other border states follow suit...Yeah, right!
ReplyDeleteTruth is, I'm surprised there was anybody in a place of authority like a governorship or legislatures that weren't grabbing their ankles for the Donks/Vatican on this, and fully suspect the other borderers to side with DumB-O, or take a "wait and see" approach.
Maybe Obami will make the entire state stand in a corner.
