archer, the feds are not against racial profiling, they have been doing it for years.(quota contracts) The fed's are pro illegal immigration.
"By Mark Krikorian
A lawyer friend writes:
By the way, an interesting tidbit – the administration not only supported the Chamber, but had Neal Katyal — the Acting SG [Solicitor General, who represents the federal government before the Supreme Court] — argue the case. The SG normally argues only one, maybe two, cases per sitting, and that’s reserved for the cases the gov’t sees as the most important/prominent.
The reason the administration and the Chamber of Commerce saw this case as so important is that they want to hold back mandatory E-Verify as their main bargaining chip for what they really want out of a “comprehensive” immigration deal — amnesty for the Obama administration and massive increases in imported captive labor (“guestworkers”) for the Chamber. The decision makes it more likely Congress will be able to pass such a mandate on its own, not bundled with any amnesty or guestworker provisions. In other words, it’s not just a win for enforcement but also a setback for amnesty and increased immigration."
PS were you really scruffy or is that something from heartless's feavered imagination.
nope,I was never scruffy.....not at all sure where heartless got that information, but that's how rumors are born. Tell Heartless I shaved off the mustache and had a gender change operation, maybe that will quiet him down for a while.
Ok, back on topic....what ever the feds have been doing, they know if they let the State of Arizona get away with stopping citizens on the street and asking them for their papers.....which I do believe is racial profiling (Sheriff Joe has been doing it for years, but this law would make it legal) the Hispanic community....of LEGAL citizens, will hold democrats responsible for not stopping it. In Arizona that doesn't matter much, AZ is so firmly Republican the democrats there won't notice a change, but nationally it would not play well. So AZ had to be stopped, and whatever legal statutes they can use to stop it, they will. I was not surprised they didn't go after the law against corporations that hire illegals, I think that is a politically neutral issue.

Did you miss the conversation at lunch when we discussed how every one mellows for about 2 days after a lunch, before they go back to tearing each other apart?

I did miss that but I hope I am always mellow. Life is too short for anything else.
