Yesterday, the President of the United States of America sided with the President of Mexico against the wishes of the American people.

In asking anew for an immigration overhaul, Obama showed solidarity with his guest of honor, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who called Arizona’s law discriminatory and warned Mexico would reject any effort to “criminalize migration.”( It’s not migration, idiota’. Your countrymen are invading our country illegally.)

In Obama ‘s ongoing quest to apologize to every other world leader for his own country, Scooter said that fixing the problem would require solving border security, employment and citizenship issues all at once, the kind of effort that failed in Congress three years ago.

The world’s president has a lot working against him in this election year.  He needs help from Republican critics. Other states, like Arizona, are fed up with federal inaction.  His Liberal base expects him to actually keep his campaign promise of immigration reform.  And Americans have reached the boiling point in regards to this issue.

The Arizona law states that  police can question people about their immigration status if there’s reason to suspect they’re in the country illegally, and it makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. illegally. People may be only be questioned about their status if they’ve been stopped by police who are in the process of enforcing another law.

The law will take effect July 29 unless legal challenges prevail. Almost twice as many people are in favor of it as opposed to don’t, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll this month.  42 percent favored it, 24 percent opposed it and another 29 percent said they were neutral.

Standing alongside Calderon in the Rose Garden, Obama called the Arizona law “a misdirected expression of frustration.” He said that he expects to announce soon what action his government may take about it, once the Justice Department finishes reviewing whether the law violates civil rights. (Don’t they have to read it first?)

Per our President:

In the United States of America, no law-abiding person – be they an American citizen, a legal immigrant, or a visitor or tourist from Mexico – should ever be subject to suspicion simply because of what they look like.

Calderon added:

Many of them, despite their significant contribution to the economy and to the society of the United States, still live in the shadows, and occasionally, as in Arizona, they even face discrimination.

It’s not about discrimination, stupid.  It’s about upholding America’s laws.

Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn said that Obama was meddling, because state law “is not within his purview.”

Cornyn blasted Calderon for being out of line by coming to the White House and airing such complaints, which are widespread in Mexico:

I just think it’s inappropriate to be a visitor in the United States or to another country, and to go in and criticize the domestic laws of that country.

Violence is so widespread in Mexico that more than 23,000 people have been killed since Calderon ordered soldiers to Ciudad Juarez and other cities more than three years ago to battle the drug cartels. According to Cornyn, the ongoing violence “has made it harder” for Congress to tackle immigration reform.  The Senator also blamed Obama for showing “insufficient commitment” to securing the border and failing to invest much effort into immigration reform despite campaign promises to enact reform within a year.

In a related story, yesterday, a second-grader told Michelle Obama that her mother was here illegally.  It happened during Michelle Obama’s visit to a Silver Spring, Md. school, right in front of Mexico’s first lady.

Margarita Zavala just happened to accompany Mrs. Obama on a visit to New Hampshire Estates Elementary School Wednesday.

During a question-and-answer session, one girl ratted out her mom, innocently proclaiming that:

Barack Obama is taking everybody away that doesn’t have papers.

The first lady consoled her, assuring her that they have to make sure people living in the United States have the proper citizenship papers.

I question the timing.  Can you say “plant”, boys and girls? 

So, there you have it.  We have a President and his Administration who believe that they are smarter than the people that they are actually supposed to be working for, not against.

This Anti-American President and his minions are shrouding their true motives behind a false mantra of civil rights and social justice.  Please indulge me by allowing me the opportunity to wrap up today’s blog with the answer I gave yesterday to “Benito”, who submitted a rather lengthy comment filled with this same camouflage of noble intentions:

Benito, I approved your comment to ask you a few questions. First, you write very well. Next, a few questions. What part of the word “illegal” do you not understand? What makes the current influx of illegal immigrants exempt from the rules and regulations that every other generation of immigrants to this country had to abide by in order to become legal citizens of the greatest nation in the world? By being here illegally, you are not entitled to the same rights as natural-born or naturalized American citizens. You are no better than someone who breaks into someone’s home, does their dishes, cuts their yard, cleans their house, and then helps themselves to their food and drives their car without asking. This is in no way a human rights issue. Freedom is God-given. And with freedom comes responsibility. With citizenship comes responsibility, like paying taxes and making your own way. Illegal immigration reminds me of the amorous boyfriend who wants everything a young woman will give him, but will leave her at the first mention of marriage. I wish you no ill, amigo, but understand this: This is not a civil rights issue. Illegals do not have the same rights as American Citizens. With our rights, come the responsibilities of being an American citizen. The Mexican flag, by protocol, will always be flown in a subordinate position to the American Flag in this country. And, the American Dialect of the English language is the language spoken in this country.

Vaya con Dios.
