Arizona Will Repeal Its Controversial Immigration Laws Thanks To Obama!

Senator John McCain and Governor Jan Brewer vigorously defended Arizona's tough anti-illegal immigration bills. They said that these bills were not an effort to pander to racism and xenophobia, as McCain scolded the President in a closed door meeting yesterday. Instead, it was an expression of frustration at the federal government's failure to secure Arizona's borders. Arizonans simply had no choice but to pass the bills they did due to the lack of action by the federal government.

Well, their message was heard! President Obama has sent over a thousand National Guard troops to bolter efforts to secure the U.S./Mexican Border as Senator McCain himself has proposed! So, I am sure that Republicans in Arizona were just waiting for this opportunity to demonstrate to the liberal media that they are not racist. Rather, the bills they passed were an expression of frustration at their unsecure border. But, with the deployment of National Guard troops, Republicans can now repeal these laws to demonstrate to the Hispanic American community that the Republican party is not racist. This will be their golden moment to demonstrate to America that they were simply concerned about national security.

I am also just holding my breath waiting to hear the national media ask Senator McCain and Governor Brewer about Arizona's anticipated repeal of their immigration bills. Afterall, it was merely an expression of frustration. Not an effort to scapegoat and persecute an ethnic minority!

I'm buying stock in toilet paper companies. That's what I'm doing.

There's something to be said about such a quote.

"Don't talk to us about anything more comprehensive!"

I have a hard time imagining the GOP saying "Obama (the Kenyan socialist :) ) has gone a long way towards securing the border, so we're repealing the Arizona immigration law. It served its purpose." I think their base and the tea baggers wouldn't be too thrilled to hear that.

See? Now that the federal government is defending the border, I am sure that Arizona will now repeal the law, because they were merely frustrated at the federal governments failure to do more to secure Arizona's borders. So, just sit back and wait, as McCain and Brewer follow through on their rhetoric.

:boring:

changed?

maybe 2000 for the border and the rest....have them patrol the streets,set up check points, and set up camps around the predominantly white enclaves in the major cities.

that would prove to all those white folks that obama was protecting them. just think of all the jobs that would create for the white folks who are not working cause of them illegals would`t/could`t make it through the check points


seriously...i have to give obama credit on this one....the white folks got their army troops

They'll ask for more troops and drum up statistics to show how the law is "working". Then they'll actively work to export it to surrounding states.

McCain's already screaming for 6,000 more troops.

Arizona's economy has been surviving via cheap labor coming in from Mexico. Arizona businessmen claim that tough immigration laws that were put in place two years ago worked to well. So it is surprising that the Repub. Gov. had the gumption to sign such a racist bill. Maybe this is just a tiny move in the bigger move to come. Maybe something like in NOLA? Regardless of boarder guards,or racist laws. Cheap labor to these folks is a drug they are not going to give up.....

These corporations need to be weaned from MONEY TRUMPS PEACE!

or the millions of dollars that Mexican shoppers spend in Arizona.

If this law stays on the books, Arizona will go broke.

:popcorn:

move. Otherwise it is, indeed, simply pandering.

:rofl:

Just enough to draw it out until there is a favorable admin/congress to make it bullet proof. So I really doubt it.
