I really was wondering when we'd hear from him about the craziness in Arizona. Thoughts?
Quote:
Update at 10:46 a.m. ET: Obama called on Congress to take up a new federal immigration bill:
Our failure to act responsibly at the federal level will only open the door to irresponsibility by others, that includes, for example, recent efforts in Arizona which threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness which we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their community that is so crucial to keeping us safe.
He added: "If we continue to fail to act at the federal level, we will continue to see misguided efforts opening up around the country."
Obama said he has called upon his administration to monitor the Arizona efforts for any civil rights and other implications.

Further proof that Democrats will move forward with comprehensive immigration reform this year? Probably. Sure to enrage the rightwingnuttia? Guaranteed.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has until Saturday to either sign the bill into law or veto it.
