President Obama is upset with Arizona for passing a state law. Two things wrong with this, one, its a state law, STFU. What about states rights! If the fed won't enforce the current law then the state has to protect themselves.
Two, he's only upset as he might lose some voters who will be on a bus home next election. Now if we could get California to enforce immigration law we'd have a real election.
Five years from now the Arizona budget will be running a surplus and the voters of Arizona will say "We told you so!"
From the NYT article: "While police demands of documents are common on subways, highways and in public places in some countries, including France, Arizona is the first state to demand that immigrants meet federal requirements to carry identity documents legitimizing their presence on American soil."
Apparently it is a federal requirement that immigrants carry identity docs at all times, so AZ is just enforcing a federal law. And why is Obama upset, I thought he wanted us to be more like France.
