The Justice Department files a lawsuit against Arizona’s immigration law
The Department of Justice has asked the Supreme Court to strike down Arizona’s immigration law. No, not Arizona’s new controversial immigration law that has received so much attention lately, but an immigration law that was signed in 2007 by then governor Janet Napolitano.
The suit is being brought up on the grounds that it is unconstitutional because it forces private businesses to check the immigration status of potential employees using e-verify. This suit is being brought forward not by businesses that do not want to verify the immigration status of potential employees, but by those potential employees who do not want their immigration status verified.
Let me state up front that I support Arizona’s new immigration law as well as the law in question here– I do not have a problem with companies being told they must use the e-verify system before hiring an employee. If a company is going to be punished for hiring illegal immigrants shouldn’t they have the proper tools in place to make sure that the people they are hiring are in the country legally?
But what I do have a problem with is the duplicity– or should I say hypocrisy– of people like Janet Napolitano, who have come out against the new Arizona law when she signed a law that could lead to the same type of racial profiling that she is supposedly against.
I know that critics will claim there is a difference between an employer using e-verify before hiring a person and law enforcement asking for a person to verify his or her immigration status, but racial profiling is racial profiling– is it not? Are there different degrees of racial profiling? Are some forms of racial profiling acceptable? It would certainly seem that this is the case in Janet Napolitano’s mind. She signed a bill that would allow racial profiling on one level, while coming out against a bill– that she admitted she hasn’t bothered to read– because it supposedly would allow racial profiling on another level.
You can’t have it both ways Janet Napolitano.
In a perfect world, businesses wouldn’t have to worry about whether a person is here legally or not because they would be able to trust the government to enforce immigration laws, but sadly that is not the case and so Arizona has taken matters into its own hands with their new immigration law. This has drawn the fury of the left; including people like Barack Obama, Eric Holder, and Janet Napolitano.
When Janet Napolitano was governor of Arizona and still had her state’s best interests at heart she signed a bill that had a form of racial profiling in it. But now that she has left the state and is a big shot in the Obama regime, she has forgotten the troubles that her state has with violence and drugs at the hands of illegal immigrants at the border, and so she has condemned an attempt by the current governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer, to protect her citizens’ best interests because it is falsely rumored to contain some of the same racial profiling that she signed into law as governor.
America's Watchtower 
Seems to me this is more about opening the borders and getting votes than racial profiling. The left, now including Napolitano deeply resent and plan to discourage any use of states rights.

In the end, that is what they want. They need these votes to replace to votes that Obama is losing in droves.

This is transparently BS. The illegals are suing in order to hide the fact that they are here illegally.

Good point Matt, they are trying to change the argument.

You are right about Janet N.! Obama’s people really tow the mark, they know if they don’t the bus wheels will get them. I have little use for two-faced people like Janet and Barack or even some so-called conservatives who do the same thing by saying one thing before election time and then acting entirely different after the election is over. We must rid ourselves of all these liars.

It is going to be tough to do, we won’t know if the new people we put in are two-faced until it is too late. I fear it will be a never ending process.

Obama A Red Diaper Baby, Inherently Does Not Represent Americans.
It would not have made a difference had Obama read Arizona’s new anti-illegal immigration bill. Obama and his Marxist constituents intend to absorb into their ranks millions of illegal immigrants via Amnesty to help Obama force his socialist ideology on America—Socialism mandates sharing Citizens’ wealth among the masses. America’s greatest threat is not from foreign enemies, but from Marxists that have slithered into U.S. Government.
Historically, when Socialists like Obama have been elected to government, they thrive like cancer—targeting healthy economic markets and individuals with new and higher taxes to pay for public welfare programs. Obama is a red diaper baby that inherently does not represent Americans, but a Marxist ideology—that mandates forcing socialism on U.S. Citizens—even if that means destroying the U.S. economy in addition to abolition of the Constitution. Obama’s has already forced unaffordable health insurance, new taxes and regulatory costs on businesses that will inhibit investment and hiring of new employees for years.
What might happen politically in America if the Obama government suddenly stopped extending unemployment and other assistance paid millions of Americans: In foreign countries where the economy and government went broke, millions of unemployed and others dependent on government handouts responded, by voting socialists into power, worsening the economy. If Obama spends America into bankruptcy, it is foreseeable millions of disparate Americans might accept, even welcome a hybrid form of Marxist/socialism.
