Obama: Arizona's immigration bill could 'undermine basic notions of fairness'
 

I really was wondering when we'd hear from him about the craziness in Arizona. Thoughts?

Thanks to Arizona lawmakers for passing this DISCRIMINATING bill. Now, Immigration is on the national spotlight and the President himself is calling for Immigration Reform.

Its getting tense on the issue. I'm in Arizona and many students @ my high school are planning a walk-out right now against the measure. I think the president has finally noticed the need for the long needed immigration reform of the nation.

God help me, I hope and pray that CIR passes every day, but I think this AZ legislation is a blessing in disguise. Just a week ago, I had lost all hope that immigration reform had *ANY* chance of passing at all this year, or ever for that matter. Last night, Anderson Cooper had several guests, all American, urging people to boycott AZ as people will ge targeted for documentation like the Gestapo.

HOWEVER...does everyone see it now that if the legislation had been written like Schummer has been telling everyone that he's done in the last 9 months, it could have been introduced at the necessary moment?? We have been duped with conflicting messages and information "leaks" to confuse us into believing that if only the Republicans played nice, they would vote on CIR. They cannot vote what they don't have written! Now this is forcing both sides to come up with a fair solution. Funny how life works sometimes...

it will come...Obama and the Democrats can't be seen as out of touch with what is going on in this nation. there is no doubt in my mind that the climate bill will be tossed to the side for now....not with all of the country and the mainstream media looking at what is going on in AZ.
