We Live In a Federal Republic...

I'm not the Governor of Arizona, but if I were I would've said this today as I signed the immigration enforcement law: "The President is entitled to his opinion on this legislation, but we live in a federal republic and the people of Arizona, through their elected representatives, have asked for this law and they shall have it as the law of the land in the great state of Arizona."

While I doubt that this new law will unleash a wave of police activity motivated by racial hatred, let's say, for the sake of argument, that it could. Then the "racist" criticism of the law would be valid, and yet this criticism, valid or not, is utterly useless as the majority of Americans have heard it all so many times before, bandied about over every little thing, often quite ludicrously. The race mongers have diluted the charge, they've cried wolf ad infinitum and no one is listening - the racist charge has no meaning, it falls on deaf ears. That is the price the race mongers have to pay. Nobody's fault but their own.
