After a sustained bout (how about 45 years?) of "preemption" in the mishandling of immigration laws and policies by the Federal Government at all levels, the US Justice Department now has the chutzpah to file suit against Arizona for trying to protect its citizens.
Boy, if you are not outraged at this Federal overreach of raw power you are brain dead.
The front page of the July 7 Washington Post reported that "The administration disavowed any political calculus, with one senior Justice Department official saying: 'We're charged not with doing what's popular or partisan or political, but doing what we think is right.'"[Justice Department sues Arizona over immigration law, By Jerry Markon and Michael D. Shear]
“Right”? For whom? Certainly not the nearly 20% of American citizens who are unemployed or have stopped looking for work.
Following a massive media campaign by the White House and the Democrats in Congress, and waged with our tax dollars, using their bully pulpits against to claim that the new Arizona immigration law would racially profile people, this suit doesn't mention that aspect in its 25-page filing.
