Yes, Arizona Again…

…by way of a hypocrisy by the lying, corrupt scumball Mexican president.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon denounced as “racial discrimination” an Arizona law giving state and local police the authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants and vowed to use all means at his disposal to defend Mexican nationals against a law he called a “violation of human rights.”

But the legislation, signed April 23 by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, is similar to Reglamento de la Ley General de Poblacion — the General Law on Population enacted in Mexico in April 2000, which mandates that federal, local and municipal police cooperate with federal immigration authorities in that country in the arrests of illegal immigrants.

Under the Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison. Immigrants who are deported and attempt to re-enter can be imprisoned for 10 years. Visa violators can be sentenced to six-year terms. Mexicans who help illegal immigrants are considered criminals.

The law also says Mexico can deport foreigners who are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” violate Mexican law, are not “physically or mentally healthy” or lack the “necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents.

Hey, liberals, how come we aren’t hearing any cries of “racist!” against the Mexican government? Is their law fairer than Arizona’s (which only actually mimics the federal law the U.S. Government was supposed to enforce but didn’t/hasn’t)? Or is your only true motivation your craving for the majority Mexican vote, and the American people be damned?

“This sounds like the kind of law that a rational nation would have to protect itself against illegal immigrants — that would stop and punish the very people who are violating the law,” said Rep. Steve King of Iowa, ranking Republican on the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, refugees, border security and international law.

“Why would Mr. Calderon have any objections to an Arizona law that is less draconian than his own, one he has pledged to enforce?” Mr. King said.

Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on terrorism and homeland security, described Mr. Calderon’s comments as “hypocritical to say the least.”

Hey, liberals! Look that up in your Funk & Wagnalls!

    Come on Seth, since when did “Liberal” equate to rational?

    Gray Monk –

    since when did “Liberal” equate to rational?

    Actually, I don’t recall that particular phenomenon ever occurring.

    I could say one could always hope, but that would be too much like the liberal habit of believing:

    “Just because something’s proven a failure 99 times doesn’t mean it’s not going to work the hundredth.” :-)

    Heh heh.

    I’ve noticed that about libs also. The examples they follow, like socialized meds and now, I guess, they’re talking up that VAT tax because the Europeans they admire so much use it as a way to milk more spending money from the public over there.

    It is pretty amusing, in its own way, to watch the left, hard at work, determined to get what amounts to a square peg in a round hole no matter how many times they find it impossible. :-)
