You have got to love Gutierrez because he is the only politician in Amercia who is ready to call a spade a spade. Every time he comes out with another interview or op-ed piece like this he gets to the heart of the matter: Obama made lots of promises about immigration reform but his words are dramatically out of sync with his actions. How is it that Obama is outdoing Bush as a border-security cowboy? And why won't somebody in the Federal government remind Arizona that immigration and citizenship is a Federal--and not a State--matter?
I heard Janet Napolitano on MSNBC the other day talking about how the Arizona law was a bad move. Then you hear something like this:

How is this "fixing our broken immigration system"? Only in the land of NumbersUSA is this an immigration fix.
By the way, does anybody know if the link to this leak by the
Washington Post was posted on here? I don't remember seeing it. But if these memos are really as Gutierrez has described them, then the actions of the administration and lack of movement on immigration are truly appalling.
