Obama calls Arizona Irresponsible on Immigration

Read Time:51 Second

Speaking today at a naturalization ceremony in the Rose Garden for 24 active duty service members. President Obama says the service members represent true patriotism for having served a country they could not yet call their own.

He added that Immigration reform should be enacted a national level or leave the door open to “irresponsibility by others.”

Obama says a failure to act will lead to more of what he called “misguided” efforts like an immigration bill in Arizona. If signed by the state’s governor, the bill would require police to question people about their immigration status if there’s reason to suspect they’re in the country illegally.

Obama says he has instructed his administration to examine the Arizona bill to see if it violates people’s civil rights.

According to the Pentagon there are 37,401 non-US citizens on active duty. Military service is regarded as a fast track to full citizenship. The Roman army, 2,000 years ago, had a similar practice.

‘Misguided’? Obama is a master of understatement.

If they’re fighting for the USA they’re well worth keeping!

Clothes they wear? Now come on! If I walked around Arizona (for a brief second I thought Ari Zona was another odd name of some politician or something) in my usual attire how would you know I was an immigrant until I spoke? – unless the England football shirt gave it away…

I don’t know what everyone is worried about. Remember, we can tell illegal immigrants by the clothes they’re wearing.
