Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, called on President Barack Obama to fight a new law signed Friday in Arizona that gives police power to request ID from suspected illegal immigrants. Grijalva, speaking at a rally Sunday at the Arizona state Capitol, asked Obama to not cooperate with the law, according to the Associated Press.
"We're going to overturn this unjust and racist law, and then we're going to overturn the power structure that created this unjust, racist law," Grijalva said.
Nearly a week ago, Grijalva and Reps. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) asked Obama to shun the law. On Friday, hours before Gov. Jan Brewer signed the bill into law, Obama criticized it. "The recent efforts in Arizona ... threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans as well as the trust in police and their communities that are so crucial to keeping us safe," Obama said.
"Our message today is: 'Mr. President we listened, and we came out in record massive numbers to support you,'" said Gutierrez at the rally. "We need you to support us today." Grijalva, who has previously called for an economic boycott of Arizona over the bill. The controversial part of the bill text reads that law enforcement officials are required to "determine the immigration status of a person during any legitimate contact made by an official or agency of the state ... if reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the U.S." If Obama does what Grijalva wants by not following the law then they need to be brought up on charges just like every citizen of the USA. If Obama breaks the law then he needs to pay the price. It is high time that the Democrats learn that we are a nation of laws not men. Nixon and Clinton learned it the hard way and I suspect that Obama will too but we will see. As Mark Adams pointed out 60% of Arizona's residents approve of the bill. So who the hell thinks they have the right to ignore this law?
We all know how the left have been saying that it is the right that is violent. The media keeps saying that we are going to come unhinged. In the same amount of time as the Tea Parties have been rallying,without even one episode of violence,the left have had numerous riots. I think we all need to understand why the left blame us for what the left do as a norm for them? Where is that peace and love? I see bottles and riot gear but no love or peace. It's time the left start following the same code of conduct they expect of us. I'm not saying that all left wingers are violent,but damn if they aren't out of control on too many occasions. And Obama didn't help in his inflamming things. If our president has a problem with federal law then he better change it and obey our laws. Obama needs to think about the way he says things. And the media needs to start calling it ILLEGAL immigration as that is what this is about. America is strengthened by our legal immigration methods. Immigrant are a big part of what makes America great. But we have laws in this country and illegal immigrant are not above the law.
