Arizona is the 48th and last of the contiguous states admitted to the Union. As one of the “Four Corners” states, it has suddenly become the center of national attention because of the newly enacted immigration law, SB1070. I’m stupefied at the amount of controversy and madness over this seemingly elementary law. Even the President has, once again, bowed into the debate with confounding dismissal concerning the State’s right to guard its borders, protect its citizens, and enforce the law.
Perhaps it’s time for a “Nachos Summit.” Yes, organizers could invite the Eagles to sing Tequila Sunrise, On the Border, and Desperado. Governor Brewer could serve Corona, Noche Buena, or Negra Modelo. Oops! Is it alright to say Negra? Didn’t the President learn a lesson from his freshman comments toward the brouhaha over police officer Sergeant James Crowley arresting Harvard professor and so-called race-relations expert, Henry Gates? In case you missed it Mr. President: engage brain before opening mouth!
Commenting on the arrest Obama said the police had “behaved stupidly.” Really? A police officer responding to a call concerning a possible break-in – is that what you call “behaving stupidly?” Now in another jaw-dropping round of staggering diatribe our Harvard law professor / President thinks that the state of Arizona has engaged in a “misguided effort” to enforce existing Federal immigration law. Further, he believes the passing of SB1070 will “open the door of irresponsibility” by other states to enforce their laws too!
Are we starting to see a pattern here? Does the President have something against law enforcement? Doesn’t the 10th amendment limit his federal ability to interfere in Arizona? Habla ingles? The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

You go Wally, Way too much is being said about this law. If people would expand their education a little more they would realize there are many, many more stupid and irresponsible laws on the books they could jack their jaws over.
