And that's WHY the Democrats in Congress jumped to their feet in standing ovation of Calderon's faux-concern about "racial profiling". They all KNOW that Arizona's law specifically forbids racial profiling. They're just doing their usual "divide and conquer" maneuver on us in order to round up those latino votes.
Calderone's a giant hypocrite, because Mexican immigration law not only bars foreigners from public criticism of Mexico's internal politics, it also bars foreigners if their presence is deemed to upset "the equilibrium of the national demographics". What that means... is that Mexico can deny on race. And half our Congress jumped up and applauded him.
Immigration Reform? Let's Try Mexico's Immigration Law!
say what you want, and attribute whatever motives you chose to the actions of congressional democrats, the fact of the matter is: the arizona law and rand paul's statements about the civil rights act will not help the GOP garner minority votes... which only goes to my long held view that the GOP is moving toward becoming the party of white people only.
I'm sure this is going to shock you, but legal residents of Mexican descent in Arizona are ALSO in favor of this law. You might know this if you personally knew any Mexican-Americans.
I know that the impact of this law extends far beyond the borders of Arizona and I have seen credible polling that indicates that hispanics nationally are upset with this law and with the GOP for supporting it. But hey... you all do whatever the fuck it is that you want to do... and if you think that championing the Arizona law will win you votes among the hispanic population nationally, then, by all means, go for it.
Similarly, if you think that agreeing with Rand Paul that southern lunch counters should be able to turn black folks away for the benefit of their white patrons will help you improve your already abysmal record with black voters nationally, go for that as well.
Good luck
