Video – Shameful Display From Democrats In Congress? Mexico’s President Cheered After Criticizing Arizona Immigration Law

By Gasparrini Friday May 21, 2010

Meanwhile, Tom McClintock (R-California), responds to the double standard of the Mexican president. Of course, there was no standing ovation for him.

#78 I wasn’t trying to cure your gayness (the obvious impairment you project) but your lack of common sense. Unless you’re telling us that your lack of common sense is linked to your gayness.

Mr. Fusion said,

Are you suggesting everything in American society is home grown? What a dolt. So Americans all invented sauerkraut, sausages (including hot dogs), Christmas trees, Protestantism and Catholicism, higher education, genocide of aboriginals who won’t go peacefully, sushi, incarceration for longer than in law or as imposed by a court, bagels and cream cheese, the automobile and expressways, perogies, and the ubiquitous favorite of the far right, slavery.

No immigrant ever landed on our shores without leaving a lot behind, unless they were born in transit. And they all brought something with them besides their bodies. To deny immigrant’s contribution to American society is to deny what America is today. Most immigrants tried to recreate something of the land they left. And that great melting pot called America became richer with their combined cultural and traditional contributions.

Ummm, that’s pretty much my point…

#80 Sorry, you’re right. Shame on the repukes for not giving a standing ovation to Calderon when saying the US immigration laws are racists

#83, pedro,

That was your error. Calderon didn’t criticize US immigration policy. If you bothered to watch the video, he criticized ARIZONA immigration policy.

My big concern is why these “smaller government” types that keep claiming whether something is, or is not, Constitutional deny Calderon the right to speak.

That’s a strawman. No one is making any such argument. However, many are arguing that such a man should not be afforded the privilege of speaking before Congress. It is called diplomatic courtesy. If a head of state wants to criticize another nation’s laws, let him do it to the press or in a speech that isn’t in front of that country’s leaders.

That’s a ridiculous point since the AZ law is a near duplicate of the Federal law. Thus, if you are criticizing AZ law you are also criticizing other laws that are similar like US law.

#84 You’re right. Blow Arizona from the face of the Earth. How antiamerican of them to try and secure themselves form illegals. Demagogues are right to side with that foreign president. The Mexican government has more in common with the federal government than Arizona.
