With the visit by Mexican President Calderon to the White House today, illegal immigration is once again at the top of the news. Cities, including Los Angelos and San Francisco, urge us to boycott Arizona, because Arizona passed a law that mimics the federal law. Rush Limbaugh suggested that all illegals detained in Arizona be put on a bus to San Francisco, with a map showing where the government benefits offices are located. A member of the Arizona Utilities Commission suggested Arizona can comply with Los Angelos's wish not to have anything to do with Arizona: Los Angelos gets 25 percent of its water from Arizona. That water can go other places.
President Obama, who, along with his Attorney General and Homeland Security Director, has not read the Arizona law, said the White House is "looking closely at the law," because Obama believes the law is "misdirected."
Mexico has severe deportation laws concerning people who are in their country illegally. How does Calderon get off telling Arizona it cannot do the same?
