You Think China’s Gulags Are Bad? Let Me Tell You About Arizona.


You cannot parody the Obama Administration.

China forcibly hauls women into vans to forcibly perform abortions, sends people to gulags, kills dissidents, etc., etc., etc.

All of that apparently pales in comparison to Arizona.

Yes, the Obama Administration is apologizing to China for Arizona’s existence.

[Michael] Posner [the Assistant Secretary of State] said in addition to talks on freedom of religion and expression, labor rights and rule of law, officials also discussed Chinese complaints about problems with U.S. human rights, which have included crime, poverty, homelessness and racial discrimination.

He said U.S. officials did not whitewash the American record and in fact raised on its own a new immigration law in Arizona that requires police to ask about a person’s immigration status if there is suspicion the person is in the country illegally.

This has a precedent so it's not that unusual:

in the 1930s didn’t the US abassador to Germany tell the Nazis that while their treatment of Jews was bad, our treatment of Negroes was worse.?
During the Korean War Truman objected to the treatment of American POWs in N. Korean hands but admitted US treatment of N. Korean prisoners violated the Geneva Convention? We were so bad in Vietnam that Johnson sent the great Patriot Jane Fonda to the North to apologize on our behalf.
Finally the Iraq war saw President Obama apologize to the world for our arrogant, human right-violating behavoir.
Sadly, the last one is true.

Jane Fonda, US Ambassador to Viet Nam? NOT

Having grown up in the Viet Nam War(EXCUSE ME>>”Conflict”) area
as I recall Jane Fonda went to Viet Nam on her own to bolster the justified “Anti war movement”. She called the Viet Cong her “Friends” and denounced our solders many of whom were FORCED into military service by the “draft” as criminals. The VC LOVED her and used her unofficial “visit” as anti American Propaganda. My brother wasted 15 months of his life in “Nam”. When he got home,his own son didn’t know who he was! To this day, mentioning Jane Fonda gets his blood boiling!

As for this nitwit charlatan we have as a “President” he has made us a a “politically correct” impotent weakling of a country! He ought to be REMOVED from office!!!!!!!

She makes my blood boil too!

She should have been executed as a traitor. Stiil think that even today. She sat on anti-aircraft guns in North Viet Nam that shot at our planes as a photo-op. Sorry, I hope the Lord forgives her but I don’t.
Please refrain from using her name as much as possible.

Authorities in southern China must not violate human rights in carrying out their reported plans to sterilize thousands of people this month in a drive to meet family planning targets, Amnesty International said on Thursday.

According to Chinese media reports, officials in Puning City, Guangdong Province aim to sterilize 9,559 people, some against their will, by 26 April.

“In recent months, however, their situation has grown more desperate. China has launched a broad crackdown on the North Koreans, who are considered refugees by the rest of the world but illegal aliens by Beijing. In Yanji, in eastern Jilin province, North Korean families last week were scrambling to avoid getting caught up in house-to-house searches. Police have posted notices urging people to report a long list of undesirables, including murderers, rapists and people giving jobs to illegal aliens and offering rewards for tips.”

But, then again, that was in 2001. I’m sure the situation is much better now.

Erick you're a little off target on this one. AZ does ship illegal Mexicans to a gulag.

mbecker908 (Diary) Monday, May 17th at 9:20AM EST (link)

It’s called Mexico. Well, actually the US government ships ‘em there, we just find ‘em and snitch ‘em out.

I liked the more humanitarian policy suggested this weekend by one of our more progressive posters. He suggested we line up air conditioned buses as the border crossing points and as illegals come across the border we put ‘em on the bus, give ‘em a pamphlet in spanish that details how to stay under the radar, apply for state benefits and medical benefits and save them the long walk across the desert. And that would be the desert to California.

I thought that was a great idea since Arizona has not only had to contend with the influx of illegal aliens from Mexico, we have to put up with disaffected Californians coming over here too. I wish we could ship them back as easily as the Mexicans.

Heh, too true

"SHOOT ABOUT A DOZEN OF 'EM,"

Yup, that;s what he said. He’s a big guy who shoots from the hip and usually misses, and when I pointed out that even though we do it in the name of war, we still retain some semblance of our barely civilized existence by refraining from such outbursts on our borders. I suggested he turn the problem over to his two brilliant sons, Michael and Brian, and see what they came up with. He did and they did: do away with all socialist perks available to them. Then sit back and observe the empty Mexican border. Hey, I think we’re to something here.

 

Arizona law

paulrph1 Tuesday, May 18th at 7:02AM EST (link)

The liberals have everyone convinced that with the passage of this law there will automatic profiling of the illegal aliens. The law was written to prevent this. If the Federal Government was doing its job the law would not have been passed. The Federal Government wants the illegals here so they can get amnesty for them to get their votes. The Federal Government is not enforcing the laws and now they want to sue Arizona. This should give us all a big open look into their agenda. Twelve million illegal aliens all working as migrant farm workers. Ha! One has to laugh. They have your job, my job, my children’s job, your children’s job and your neighbors job. If we look at the unemployment rate, and they illegals were not here there would be no unemployment. Then we would have tax paying citizens, a richer government and less crime. Less marijuana being grown in the hills. The citizens of Arizona are being discriminated against in favor of the illegal aliens. Now that is a real nut case job. The citizens of Arizona have no rights according to the Federal Government. As far as Posner goes does not this tell us even more about this administration? Is there anyone who is working for Obama that has any common sense. Every freak now has a sounding board.

Support Arizona

lightfootletters Tuesday, May 18th at 8:16AM EST (link)

The requests for me to please beg MLB and the MLB Union not to boycott the State of Arizona was from Numbers USA. At first I thought it was a smart thing to do. Then, news of the MLB Union press release. “The Major League Baseball Players Association opposes this law as written.” State of Arizona SB 1070 regarding illegal immigration.
Even though SB 1070 is no different than Federal immigration law. What a surprise, a union supporting unlawful conduct in everything from, drunk driving, drug traffic, human traffic, white slavery, murder and torture. The players union seems to have a disconnect between a game and real life and death.

A better plan would be to boycott MLB and their union. The thought of begging these guys, the politicians, and the media that supports them is more than my stomach can take.

One set of rules for the wealthy, another for the poor. How ’bout requiring their ballboys all be illegal immigrants with tuberculosis? Their ridiculously high pay is possible through development grants for the stadium, from the city and county they play in.

 
 

Our Current Administration is using taxpayer $

mosander Tuesday, May 18th at 8:21AM EST (link)

to get votes by mass amnesty to illegals. This is a treasonous act. I have ancestors from Spain, so I am not a racist, but the illegals coming here and given money have threatened the lives of Americans. That makes them unsuitable citizens. And the part my hispanic cousins do not understand is that after the global New World Order is put in place and patriots destroyed, and all the freedoms taken away, immigrants will lose their subsidies and essentially be working as slaves of the UN/New World Order. The more accurate figure is 22 million illegals, not 13 million.
May God and Patriots save our freedoms.

 

Not dumb

madjayhawk Tuesday, May 18th at 9:18AM EST (link)

Illegals and their slave masters called coyotes in Arizona are not dumb. They want to work or have to pay off the coyotes and if there is a danger they will be thrown in jail they will leave Arizona and move to a place where they are welcomed or ignored like California. Those who are settled in – with families, regular jobs, property, kids enrolled in school, grandma in the hospital, etc – are faced with a nasty problem as to whether to leave or not. There will be thousands of illegals in Arizona packing their bags and loading up the kids and getting in the pickup and driving at 64.5 MPH out of the state soon. The states boycotting Arizona are doing it not because they are compassionate towards illegals but because they do not want all those pickups with AZ plates coming their way, filling their schools, hospitals, jails, and welfare rolls.

What's Chinas punishment

dwscho Tuesday, May 18th at 9:50AM EST (link)

for illegal immigration. You can darn well bet it’s more severe than the U. S. I am sick and tired of the vile and despicable manner inwhich this Administration trashes the United States on the world stage. Granted, we have our issues but, it seems to me the contempt expressed by this Administration for this country is inexcusable.

 

This administration

1stsgt Tuesday, May 18th at 2:51PM EST (link)

I am also sick of this administration and the whiney way they operate. Two other presidents sent millions of illegals back to Mexico. The present loons say there are too many to round up. I say bs to this idea. As to the broad who plopped her butt on those AA guns in N. Vietnam, she should have been tried for treason. She apologized for her actions, but I for one did not accept nor will I ever accept her apology. I believe there are thousands who feel the way I do. I am not boasting but I was awarded a Bronze Star and an Air Medal with a V device. I am proud of my country but fear the gov. Also I can see November from my house. Thanks for allowing me to ramble.

 

"Don't Worry, B.O.B.'s Here"

myron_j_poltroonian Tuesday, May 18th at 6:47PM EST (link)

To paraphrase the wonderful, compassionate women regulars on “The View”, “What is it with Democrat women [in charge of federal agencies] named Janet?”. Note to one and all: It’s Illegal Alien. In law and in fact. (To paraphrase the most famous line from the movie “Treasure of the Sierra Madre”: “¿Passporto’s? ¡We doan’ need no stinking passporto’s!”) Anyway: “Don’t Worry, Bob’s here!” That was the punch line from a rather memorable commercial for a temp agency from a few years ago. I took that line, applied it to illegal immigration and came up with the following tongue in cheek essay: “Don’t worry, B.O.B.’s here!” “B.O.B.” stands for “Bag limit? Or Bounty?” (If Bounty, “Dead or Alive?”) It went on from there. Unfortunately, it’s lost somewhere in the old, real old computer it was created on. You, however, I believe, get the idea. Of course, the “progressives” who read it were “outraged, simply outraged” by it. I saw this reaction as a good sign, since they usually are by the truth. I also was saddened by the realization that “A Modest Proposal”, or something similar, could not be published in todays world of “Politically Correct, New Speak”. I have also suggested that we fire up the nation’s “Mothball Fleets”, work out a suitable deal with say, Argentina’s Terra del Fuego, or Singapore, or maybe Somalia, to serve as debarkation point(s) and have Mexico (or whatever country of origin applies) pay us a barrel of oil a day (or week, or month) for each and every day an illegal is here. These ships would be convoyed all the way with US Navy protection on training exercises in the area(s) involved. Another suggestion I’ve made over the years was to clear a ten to twenty five mile wide swath along our southern border – salt water to salt water – and turn this strip of land into a live fire, combat training range subject to continuous, unannounced live fire exercises. From small arms to howitzers, aerial bombardment to shore batteries, booby traps to bouncing betty’s. 24 hours a day, everyday of the year, there will be continual and unpredictable live fire exercises and armed patrols, aided by UAV’s (unmanned aerial vehicles) equipped with electro-optical/infrared sensors, with standing orders to interdict all attempts to go through, under, around or over this combat training ground and intercept all trespassers. Then, when convenient, remove them to a staging area to be subjected to a biometrical scan and entered into a national database, then unceremoniously taken to the nearest border crossing and sent packing immediately. Oh, yes. It should be called the General “Black Jack” Pershing Military Reservation.
