Apparently, in the president’s words, federal immigration law has the potential for discrimination:
John Morton, who heads U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants
referred to them by Arizona officials. The best way to reduce illegal immigration is through a comprehensive federal approach, not a patchwork of state laws, he said.“I don’t think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution,” Morton said during a visit to the Chicago Tribune editorial board.
If you’re worried about a law having the potential for discrimination, you might as well throw out the entire federal code. I don’t see a clamor among the Dems for that, though.
Apparently any immigration law that doesn’t prefer to cavity search my 98 year old American born grandmother rather than burkha clad or hispanic travellers is “discriminatory”.
Last time I checked, it was the federal governments job to enforce the exact same language as that which is in the Arizona law, but isn’t….
But if you snitch on your neighbor who isn’t buying Obamacare, they’ll process that, amirite?
2010… time to clean house… and senate.
We need to get rid of those laws that discriminate against people who create wealth.
Oh… Those weren’t the laws you were looking for… move along, move along.
Every member of Congress who applauded the Mexican President this morning, Republican or Democrat, should be voted out of office this fall. Every single one. That was the most disgraceful thing they have ever done…and that is saying a lot.
Agree MfK. Did John Morton at any time take an oath to uphold the law? Those remarks should get him fired as well.
If they pick and choose which laws to enforce they mock equal justice. Why should any of us obey law?
