The tenured law professor senior lecturer who claims to be a history buff sure messed this one up.
The lecturer in chief reacted hastily to the the new Arizona immigration law. Obama said it was “irresponsible” and threatened “the basic notion of fairness that we cherish as Americans.”
Obama went on to say this about the Arizona law:
“In fact I’ve instructed officials in my administration to closely monitor the situation and examine the civil rights and other implications of this legislation. If we continue to fail to act on a federal level we will continue to see misguided acts open up around the country… We can choose a different future. A future that keeps faith with our history, with our heritage and with the hope that America has always inspired the hearts of people all over the world.”
Unfortunately, the president was wrong again. The law has been in the books for 70 years and the new Arizona bill just reinforces this national immigration law.
Byron York reported:
Some people might not know that since the 1940s, federal law has required non-citizens who are in the United States permanently to carry on their person, at all times, the official documents proving that they are here legally — green card, work visa, etc. That has been the law for 70 years, and the new Arizona law does not change it.
Kansas Secretary of State candidate Kris Kobach mentioned this yesterday at the Winning Back America Conference in Independence, Missouri. Kobach, who has successfully defended Arizona immigration laws in the past, also noted that it was liberal hero FDR who first initiated these laws 70 years ago.
Maybe somebody should clue President Obama in on this before he starts shooting his mouth off again about this “irresponsible” bill.






An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
