The immigration debate is hardly a laughing matter and has been punted by too many in Washington D.C. for too long.  Arizona finally couldn’t wait any longer and passed their now famous SB1070 – a much needed directive to local law enforcement giving them clear instructions to do the federal government’s job for them.

Some of the debate that has resulted due to Arizona’s new immigration law is pretty amusing.  No comments were more amusing than those of Mexican President Felipe Calderon.  Here is a ‘leader’ whose country is in such poor condition that its residents flee it and whose immigration laws are some of the most repressive in [...]
