WTF!? Obama goes crying to the UN over the Arizona immigration law!

America needs a leader that puts America first. We haven't had one of those in awhile.

I found this discussion the other one I responded to, because of that train wreck of a response left by someone who's country is west of China. I'll leave it to your imagination as to who I'm talking about. Something I did not mention in the other discussion is that maybe I am being too optimistic when I think this. This might just backfire on Obama. Reason I think that is because if I was to be an illegal immigrant in any other country other than the United States, swift action would be taken. In China, one of the five permanent members with veto power, under the present & past regimes, if I was to enter the country without the proper paperwork & such, I would probably be put before a firing squad, if not shot on sight. I would probably face the same or similar results in Russia, another permanent member of the UN with veto power. Even other nations involved with the human rights commission, the results can be relatively brutal. Something I did mention is that if Arizona's SB1070 is a human rights violation, then probably every nation, especially those in on that human rights commission, as well as the permanent members of the UN with veto power, are also guilty. Am I being too hopefully optimistic? Do I make sense? Is it normal to mention sharmila & Taliban in the same line/sentence? Anyone else get the feeling that this will backfire or be like a boomerang & whack 'em over the head?

Okay, I give up with Obama and I throw in the towel. Yeah, he doesn't give damn about our immigration laws or the economy. I was happy about the Health Care Bill being passed, even though I know most you hated him for that, but I think that he needs to tackle illegal immigration and he needs to find a away to fix this terrible economic situation that we are in. Illegal immigration in the southern part of the U.S. is bad, I mean it's the worst it has been in years, and it's not getting any better. I am not a racist, I respect all races and welcome any race and nationality that is presently here, but it's getting way out of hand, and Obama needs to deal with it.

the un doesn't have the power to do anything about our immigration laws. even if they did its not urgent enough to act upon. they would react to a major crisis instead.

The United Nations will.... ? The United Nations can.... ? 1: Do nothing 2: Suck it In a logical world, the UN would come down heavily in favor of Arizona, since we all know the UN is just an extension of Euroschmucks that hands out fake positions of power to placate bad guys from around the world, and that almost every other friggin' country on the planet has stricter--and ENFORCED--immigration laws. But the idea is to humiliate Arizona. Obama and the UN are a match made in heaven. I can't figure out which is more utterly useless.

I must say shame on you if you do not think that the Arizona immigration law is wrong on so many levels mainly because it encourages racial profiling. I am a legal immigrant to Canada for more than a year now and they do not have this problems you know why because thier system does not encourage it. There are several thaings you want to do that youw will have to provide your immigration status, to attend new immigrant programs, even recently i hade to register for some courses and my children into school, i had to show that we were all legal immigrants. The US needs to work on thier systems to cover up loopholes how does and illegal immigrant get admitted into schools?

People already let illegal aliens roam around doing whatever they want or else they'll cause too much of an uproar in the latino community. Have you ever noticed that most all the illegal aliens who are not Latino don't stand on the street corners braging about it like latinos do? Non latinos know that they'll be deported in a heartbeat. Why is Obama siding with these latinos? They do come here for a better living, but I don't see how people allow them to break all the rules.

The UN can not do a thing except talk about the problem and issue resolutions that make them feel good but don't offend the violators. How many resolution have they passed telling Iran not to build a Nuclear Reactor. Russia is one of the important member and they violate the UN resolutions. When President Bush finally invaded Iraq he did so with a long list of UN resolutions authorizing the use of military force that the UN never enforced. The UN is a perfect example of a ruling class. The people who work there do so with immunity from all laws. They travel the world at someone else's expense. They meet for 6 weeks (in March and April) in Geneva, Switzerland to form working groups to discuss such topics as: Arbitrary Detention Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances The use of mercenaries as a means of impeding the exercise of the right of peoples to self-determination The country they spend the most time on is discussing Israel and their Human Right Violations while electing the Sudan to Chair the committee at the time they were in the process of "ethnic cleansing" in Darfur. I guess that asking someone to prove they are in this country legally is a terrible human rights violation. Maybe we should let the UN HRC go to AZ and just "cleanse the country side". The UN has become the ultimate "Good Old Boys And Girls Club". Check out Wikipedia to see what they have on the UN HRC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Commission_on_Human_Rights

I opened a discussion yesterday on this subject and though you may be interested to read the responses I received. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2388414.aspx?p=1 August 28, 2010 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. 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. 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." http://www.bespacific.com/mt/archives/025030.html

I know you don't like the thought that both parties have sold us out to globalist but the fact is ever since Bush Sr was in office every president has slowly moved us towards being under the domination of UN troops. Bases, training areas and storage areas are being provided to the UN ever since that time. I think eventually it will come down to the UN trying to find some trumped up reason to use its foreign troops to try and police US citizens. Ever since 9/11 foreign troops have been training on US soil in an alarming rate. If there ever was civil unrest at a large scale I have no doubt these troops would be sent here. World domination of countries with no rights wont be a problem it will be countries with rights that have the problem.

It is obvious now, that Mr. Obama will never get another term to do whatever it is he is doing, and I totally AGREE the UN needs to keep their dang(trying NOT to be vulgar) noses(dirty as they are) OUT of our business. The UN has no legal right to be here in the US, but the way he is going, He MAY GIVE it to them before he is out of office. Many of Obama's recent actions has shown all too well, where he belongs...Maybe in Saudi Arabia, or elsewhere, but he is giving us away in the name of....? I am sorry to say all this because I really(like many Americans) had great hopes for him, but we seemed to have let the Wolf in with the Sheep... By the way, I live in Arizona, and you are right...It is OUR Border and it is some of the UN's loveable underlings that are streaming across our OPEN, unguarded border, and it is NOT just illegal Mexicans coming across. So I understand, some fellows that recently had all intentions of blowing up Ft. Dix, New Jersey ADMITTED coming in across the Mexican-US border, and they sure WERE NOT Mexican...What does that tell you Mr. Obama? Either help us solve the problem(A US problem-not UN), or get the heck out with the rest of them...

If you read the UN statement on Human Rights, it includes the discrimination and lack of equality under the law based on gender to be a human rights violation. So how is it that Saudi Arabia can sit on the Humans Rights Council when they sentenced a 75-year-old woman to flogging because she had two young men who weren't near relatives bring her bread? Women are not allowed to drive cars! Everyone knows of the human rights violations committed in China. To allow these nations to possible draft a resolution condemning the US for human rights violations is insanity of the sort only Obama could wallow in. IF Obama ever considered a second term, he's obviously decided against it. This is not something the American public will approve of - rather, they will be further angered by it. With every step, this president distances himself further and further from the voters and their concerns. President Bush resolutely refused to submit this report to the UN because of the negative light it puts America in and because of the human rights violators that it would be submitted to. In fact, the other members of the council were a big reason the US has never before applied to be part of it. By submitting this report, Obama has recognized the UN as having authority over a state of the US. I believe that recognizing the sovereignty of another international body over any part of the US is an act of high treason.

This is very disturbing and I agree wholeheartedly with both Jan and Sen. Antenorri, this is an insult not only to the American people but to our system of government. Another member, who is an expat, gave examples of some very real human rights issues that America faces, and I agree that this country is not perfect, but if anyone is guilty of human rights violations, it's not the state of Arizona but the illegal aliens who are here and keep coming.
