Immigration Arizona immigration law hits roadblock
Posted by Max Brantley on Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 12:25 PM
A federal judge has temporarily blocked the most controversial parts of Arizona's law cracking down on undocumented immigrants and anybody who looks like they might be one.
Jim Keet, continuing to run for governor of Arkansas on a national ticket, comments:
“I continue to be supportive of the Arizona law. The federal government has failed the people of Arizona and after 18 months of inaction by the Obama administration they are taking proactive steps to protect their citizens,” said Keet. “I disagree with the court’s decision to partially block this law. I hope that the United States Supreme Court will ultimately decide this issue and will uphold the right of the state of Arizona to protect its citizens,” said Keet.
“The Obama Administration claims that the Arizona law is in conflict with federal law, but is silent with respect to sanctuary cities, which are an obvious violation of federal law. This double-standard is troubling to anyone serious about securing our borders. Governor Beebe’s silence on this is another instance where he has quietly supported the Obama administration and its agenda,” said Keet.

According to this: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/na… it might not make any difference.
I wonder what the Arizona PsofS will do when they drive their economy completely into depression. Will they come whining to the rest of us to rent them some messcuns? Not only is Burlsworth a racist sack, she's trying to kill a future growth industry.

Yes, I'm glad the Obumble judges are rushing to defend the Federal Governments decision not to enforce any of our immigration laws and even attack any thing and any state that dares try to enforce the concept of illegal immigrants being illegal immigrants. We essentially have amnesty, they just haven't called it that yet.
"Obumble judges"
"On the recommendation of U.S. Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ), Bolton was nominated to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona by President Bill Clinton on July 21, 2000 to a seat vacated by Robert Broomfield. Bolton was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on October 3, 2000 on the unanimous consent of the Senate and received commission on October 13, 2000. "

ActMax: From Merriam-Webster on-line:
Main Entry: hate·ful
Pronunciation: \ˈhāt-fəl\
Function: adjective
Date: 14th century
1 : full of hate : malicious
2 : deserving of or arousing hate
— hate·ful·ly \-fə-lē\ adverb
— hate·ful·ness noun
And you feel the president shouldn't take the recommendation of the senator of a state when appointing a jusge for that state. And Kyl is definately a Republican.
Good, then maybe Obama will throw out that Texas lawyer that Blanche recommended.
"There is a substantial likelihood that officers will wrongfully arrest legal resident aliens under the new (law)," [U.S. District Judge] Bolton ruled. She added that a requirement of the law that police determine the immigration status of all arrested people will prompt legal immigrants to be "swept up by this requirement."
****
So what is the response, from those who support the Arizona law, to these findings regarding the law's likely impact on Latinos who are legal residents of the United States or legal immigrants?
*"Nunh-unnh!"?
*"So what?"
*"The judge is wrong. Law enforcement can tell which people to detain after a lawful stop without going by skin color or race. You can tell by shoes, for one thing. Here's proof: http://americasvoiceonline.org/page/s/Sixt…"?
*"The inconvenience is just part of the cost of being an American. I'd support a law allowing random detention of innocent white people if there was a huge problem with White Supremacist groups."?
I suppose you can say anything about Obama when you're running for state office in a Red state and trying to link your opponent to the president. If that opponent disputes what you say . . . Gotcha! He must be aligned with the president.
Still, how can deporting people "at a record pace" and quadrupling the number employer audits -- as the Obama administration is doing -- fairly be characterized as "18 months of inaction?" If you think this is "inaction" you must believe President Bush was actually *importing* illegal immigrants.

Meanwhile, Gov. Beebe is "quietly support[ing ]" President Obama's plans to restructure NASA. . . . .
Does anyone on this site work during the day? My best comments are posted after 8:00 p.m. and you'all are down for the night.
Keet is showing his ignorance on this subject and disqualifies himself as suitable intellectually to be Arkansas governor.
Keet campaign strategy: Beebe supports Issue #1 so I'm the Party of No on that one; Beebe opposes Issue #2 so I'm the Party of Yes on that one: Beebe supports Issue #3 so I'm the Party of No again on that one. Gee, this is really easy! Like painting by the numbers.
