[b][u]Barack Obama just invited the United Nations to join his ongoing fight
against Arizona and dozens of other states attempting to enforce the
immigration laws that he refuses to enforce.[/u][/b]
Unfortunately, you read that right. On August 20, the United States, for
the first time ever, submitted a 29-page "Universal Periodic Review" (UPR)
to the UN Human Rights Council, which outlines a laundry list of human
rights abuses allegedly committed by the United States.
Contained within that laundry list of so-called abuses is a direct
condemnation of S.B. 1070, legislation enacted by the state of Arizona
(and supported by an overwhelming majority of the American people), which
seeks to do the job that the federal government has refused to do...
secure the border.
Specifically, the Obama Administration wrote in the report: "A recent
Arizona law, S.B. 1070, has generated significant attention and debate at
home and around the world. The issue is being addressed in a court action
that argues that the federal government has the authority to set and
enforce immigration law. That action is ongoing; parts of the law are
currently enjoined."
The submission of this UPR is the first step in a United Nations review
process which will culminate with the issuance of a plan of action,
approximately 90 days from now, from a panel of UN bureaucrats from
France, Japan and Cameroon.
At that point, the United States would be expected to "voluntarily" comply
with the panel's recommendations, but as the UN Human Rights Council
states on its website: "The Human Rights Council will decide on the
measures it would need to take in case of persistent non-cooperation by a
State..."
In short, Barack Obama has upped the ante. Not content with simply filing
a frivolous federal suit against the people of Arizona, Obama has
transformed his amnesty feud with the American people into an
international human rights cause and effectively placed the people of
Arizona (and other states that are considering similar border security
bills) under the jurisdiction of a gang of America-hating United Nations
bureaucrats.

Much as I dislike/abhor Obama as president I cannot believe this could go unnoticed if it is the truth. I do not support badmouthing anyone one through rumors. IMO this would be another huge mistake to involve UN in our country's internal problem. Has anyone seen this as fact?

OK it is TRUE. DAMMMM. Well, we now know the reason for including Arizona in the thing. It is not just about Arizona, it is about the whole US. Arizona is just an excuse to finally legalize all illegals in the country and then just open the borders. The Big"0" wants a third world country and now he has a way to get it. All the countries are supposed to send one of these things into the UN. It is a control thing for the future World Government thing. Of course the Big"0" wants this...When we become third world status then we will default on all of our debts. How sill we pay? Why with all that lovely sweet crude under the Dakotas and Montana...Why do you think they still have not drilled that lovely stuff?HUH? All the Cronies in power will get their cut and the folks who live on the land who do not own the mineral rights will be homeless and Americans will be reduced to serfdom...Is your piece loaded yet?

This is what I found when digging into the actual Universal Period Review from the USA to UN
August 23, 2010
* Universal Periodic Review on Human Rights Submitted to UN by U.S.
"The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a new and unique human rights mechanism of the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council aiming at improving the human rights situation on the ground of each of the 192 UN Member States. Under this mechanism, the human rights situation of all UN Member States is reviewed every 4 years (48 States are reviewed each year during 3 UPR sessions dedicated to 16 States each). The result of each review is reflected in an “outcome report” listing the recommendations made to the State under review (SuR) including those that it accepted."
# Report of the United States of America Submitted to the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights In Conjunction with the Universal Periodic Review, August 20, 2010- "This document gives a partial snapshot of the current human rights situation in the United States, including some of the areas where problems persist in our society. In addressing those areas, we use this report to explore opportunities to make further progress and also to share some of our recent progress. For us, the primary value of this report is not as a diagnosis, but rather as a roadmap for our ongoing work within our democratic system to achieve lasting change. We submit this report with confidence that the legacy of our past efforts to embrace and actualize universal rights foreshadows our continued success."

Adoniah Thank you for your very insightful response/comment. You certainly put Obama's intentions in a clear light. I suppose with Obama's narcissism and illusions of grandeur he thinks he will be the top honcho of this new World Government!!

crap hon I just posted about this as well. Mostly just the report to the UN not the Arizona side to it. I am so sorry.
In regards to the Arizona bill being added to the report, first let me say that that report is the worst thing yet! Adding Arizona was a literal smack in the face to American citizens

No problem. I was really upset at taking our illegal immigrant problem to the UN instead of just dealing ourselves with an actual current problem in Arizona and the rest of the United States.

If requiring immigrants to carry documentation and asking immigrants to show that documentation to prove they are in a country legally is a "human rights abuse"; then, every country in the world is guilty!
Most countries are much stricter than the US (and Arizona) when it comes to enforcing immigration law.

lolo58 My heart is also breaking over what is happening to our country. God help is all. We have taken the Lord out of our schools and every other branch of government where the elected officials can get away with it but in my heart I do not think my God will punish a whole nation for the actions of a few.

speakeasy I have spent many years travelling from one end of Europe to the other. Lived in Germany for 8 years, France for 2 and Scandinavia for almost 2 years and never would I be without documentation proving I was in the country legally. You are absolutely correct in saying that most other countries and much stricter than the US.

Im a single mother of 2 one disabled and always have a horrible time finding a job im limated to certin hours of the day and no weekends and have to take the summers off due to no care for my child. But call me a hick call me what ever you want when i walk into a gas station and it sounds like the middle east. Then walk into a mcdonalds and it sounds like little mexico, then walk into the super market and it looks like the united nations i get upset. Then to beat it all i walk into the welfair office and im the olny caucastion person in there i have to ask what the heck!!! And i was born here and i get turned down for help tell me how that is fair? I understand that some americans say "there olny takeing the jobs we dont want" But in this economy we cant aforde to loose any jobs we cant even employ our teenage citazins in the summers any more witch puts a biger burden on the parents. I agree with arizona no green card you go home! Perhaps if obama didnt have a job or his kids couldnt find a job in the summer due to illegals takeing all of them he might have a diffrent point of view. Just face facts our goverment is so corupt that if we dont figure out how to vote them all out, and start over Its never going to change. Perhaps some term limits and stop paying them to do the jobs they do and make it volentary, with no benifits and no kick backs we might get some honist people in there.

Nice thread, too bad I missed it otherwise I wouldn't have started my own redundant one. So this has been up for a day now. You have plenty of responses and with the exception of one mentally challenged individual, all are in universal agreement.
So here's the million dollar question. Where are the Obama supporters on this one? Have you noticed that so many of them will run and hide when they see him commit acts so blatantly unconstitutional that they can't even begin to defend him? Their silence shows that they know this is wrong, yet will quietly and blindly support it.

I have also noticed that when the facts are indisputable with links to substantiate the legitimate sources the Obama minions are rather quiet. Usually they at least try to discredit the source.
As for the mentally challenged person I did allude to her behavior in another discussion I opened today.

Like someone else said, if Obama thinks that requiring people to carry the proper identifications & documents is a human rights violation, then probably every nation in the world would be committing the same act. Illegal immigrants who get caught in the United States should be glad that it was the United States that they got caught in, & not another country like Iran, North Korea, or China.

I believe that if you get caught being an illegal in Mexico you can spend time in a Mexican jail and they throw the key away, or at least lose it for a long time.

President Bush refused to ever submit this report (even when there was no AZ in it) or to have anything to do with the UN Human Rights Council because they are a bunch of human rights violating thugs and because he would not subject the US to the supposed authority of the UN.
By inviting a resolution against AZ and the US, Obama has committed an act of high treason.

So this is one thing the Obama supporters cannot blame on President Bush. I do not know how far Obama is going to go with his plan of destruction for the USA. I alsodo not see it coming to an end any time soon. I prays he does not get elected for a second term.

It has been reported in the media so I assume that it is true.
This president is guilty of treason, working against his country's best interests. I would say there is ample proof at least for impeachment proceedings. Why has nobody brought any charges against him and his administration?! Dumb question but still, I wonder.

By turning in the UPR, he has not committed treason. He has insulted every American in this country, but he has not committed treason. What he has done to Arizona already is another matter. He has literally allowed Mexico to declare war on a Sovereign state. He has allowed a lower court to make a ruling on a State decision that only the Supreme Court of the United States can make a ruling on. He has literally Trashed the Constitution of the United States. But, this is not the first time.
Someone does need to look into the legality of the UPR though. No one has yet. It may be against our Constitution. I hope that it is. People may as well give up on this impeachment thing. You cannot even get him to produce his birth certificate or school records, how are you ever going to get anyone with the courage to stand up to him with impeachment charges?
