Obama is trying to get the justice dept to rule Az. immigration law illegal isnt it obvious?

Question

That he lives in a completely different world than the american citizen?

Answer 1

Most conservatives have been driven into a frenzied mob mentality by right wing propaganda.



Obama is basing his opinion on the law Federal preemption which is the same law that prevented Pennsylvania from instituting special requirements for trucks passing through on interstate highways. If the FEDs are regulating an area of government in accordance with authority granted by the Constitution, the states are precluded from issuing competing regulation.

Answer 2

What worries me is this: he is now trying to strike down laws of states when in fact all Arizona is doing is saying illegal is a crime and they are going to go after the criminals. If a police officer suspects someone is a drug dealer, what do they do...they investigate them right? No one says hey, that's being racists or sexist or whatever. Now, looking at someone that might be illegal and asking them or investigating them Obama says that is wrong. When did it become okay to do some things illegally? Where does that make any sense at all? If we have rules/laws then they should be enforced, otherwise people start ignoring the rules, hence the reason we have so many illegals in our country.



So, Obama is trying to trump Arizona laws, eventually I think some states are going to get to the point where they feel their hands are tied on what are major issues to them, because they pass a law and then Obama/federal government says nope you can't do that. The federal government doesn't have to deal with what some states are dealing with, so they don't have a clue. If this continues I wonder if some states will just say we are better off on their own, without being a part of the US and without the federal government.

Answer 3

Do you really have any idea really how the Judaical system works in this country, other than divorce and bankruptcy court?



Because none of you seem to informed about the Judaical process and separation of the Executive and Judaical Branch's. Or even what a President has or does not have the power to do, you just hear something or think it and it pops out your mouth so to speak and you actually think it is a fact. But you can blame your ignorance on the liberals also, lord knows you cant help being that stupid.

Answer 4

No, that is not within the powers vested in the presidency. It is the Supreme Court that will find this disgusting abuse of authority to be illegal. Why are Republicans so totally ignorant about so many things? BTW, he obviously is not against all the citizens of AZ, as many in the state of Arizona have already expressed dismay at this travesty.

Answer 5

I missed that - where did you come up with this. The states have the constitutional right to makes laws pertaining to their own states as long as they do not violate federal laws. The Arizona law is written very much like the federal law so does not contradict or violate federal statutes. It does give the Law enforcement officers in Arizona the right to enforce the state law. This should not have been necessary but there have been challenges in court when local officers enforce federal laws (some feel local law enfrocement officers do not have authoirty to enforce federal laws - all police officers are sworn to enfore all laws). This law eliminates that problem and puts more emphasis on enforcing the laws. Every state needs to do the same thing. As long as they are not violating federal laws or the constitution they will be in the right.



To hell with what so many feel like is racial profiling - if it is going to take that to get the illegal aliens out of our country go for it! If the legal immmigrants do not want to be caught up in this mess they need to do something to help out like getting the illegals out of our country,

Answer 6

obama has no ideal what is going on in az. the amendment 2 in our constitution states [a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed]

Answer 7

He was never for AMERICA so why should he be now? HE wants those votes and YES THEY CAN VOTE..all you need is a drivers license and those can be counterfeited.



BOZO IS A DOUCHE BAG!



You have to understand the frustration of those in Arizonia and dealing with illegals and the rapes and murders and drug trafficking. IT is a SHAME the states have to do something to protect themselves because the federal government will not.



THIS IS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY and Obama does not do anything about it. NO ONE HAS...and that is wrong.



Profiling? TOUGH CRAP! I am sick of being politically correct all the time while the illegal and criminals get more rights than we do.



GOOD FOR THAT GOVERNOR....and I applaud her for having courage to do something that must have been extremely painful for her to do. She is a good woman who has struggled with this problem and finally wants to do something about it.



Federal government should back her up and not allow lawsuits against her o the state! MISTAKES? OF what...asking for papers to make sure you are not a criminal? THIS IS A PROBLEM and it is putting that state into financial ruin supporting those illegals ..not to mention the crime rate that has SKY ROCKETED lately.



I am sick of LIBERAL thinking. PROTECT OUR COUNTRY FIRST!!!!!!! THEN worry about hurting feelings. Goodness...you aren't beating them to death..just asking them for papers! If they have them...fine ..if not...they go back.



LIBERALS HAVE TO STOP ALLOWING EVERYONE BUT AMERICANS TO CONTROL OUR COUNTRY!



Is it the perfect solution? NOPE...but federal government isn't doing anything and everyone has the right to protect themselves and that is what she is doing for her state!



BUT THEN...what is the perfect solution to get CRIMINALS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY? GET THEM OUT and MEAN IT and they will get the message.



GET ILLEGALS OUT. THEY cost us 338 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR....it is enough....



HOW DARE HE take away states rights over his. WHAT A JERK!

Answer 8

No. Our President is living in the same country as me, the USA. And I am American citizen and a patriot.

Answer 9

immigration laws are essential to our survival as AMERICANS. I am not against immigrants, however when there are starving people who are out of work and we keep giving jobs to immigrants, where does that leave you and me?????

Answer 10

He also threatened to use them to get rid of Joe Arpaio back in March....2009. He is still there.

Answer 11

well, the state of AZ has been hauling in illegals over the past year and a half with strict oversight by the feds......lol......happy to report that 38,000 illegals and visa violators have been jailed for crimes like dope and thefts---detained and then deported.....so whatever.

Answer 12

Yep. His views are waaaaay out there on some issues.

Answer 13

I think he's trying to uphold the constitution, you know it's what conservatives refer to as a technicality or political correctness, loophole.
