Steve King is a such a fucking bigot, that it makes me sick.

@smekese Oh yeah. After Obama let his Wall Street Banking contributors empty the US Treasury, NOW he's being stopped by the Republicans from proposing a Wall Street reform. That's your idea of common sense? Traditional American foreign policy has generally been--"speak softly but carry a big stick." The Obama way of "speaking loudly while carrying a tiny stick" didn't work under Jimmy Carter and it won't work now. Remember, following Carter, there was a huge Republican landslide victory.

@electango  hahaha.... First of, Afghanistan is where the real terrorists are at.. Gitmo is still in a process of getting shut down.. Republicans stop the Democrats from proposing a Wall St. reform.. The country is still safe under the new president.. Facts over opinion.. COMMON SENSE if know what that means...hahahah...

@MntlWard Is it your contention that federal immigration laws should not be enforced because some officials might practice racial profiling when enforcing them? How about laws against burglary, murder or kidnapping? Should enforcement of those laws be dropped because racial profiling might be involved?  In the enforcement of any law, there's a chance racial profiling might currently be involved. Should we therefore discontinue the enforcement of all laws and free all prison inmates?

@electango I'm going to attempt this one last time. Please read carefully.

You said racial profiling is prohibited in the law. That's not going to stop racial profiling being used for the "lawful contact" that has to occur before a policemen can say "Papers, please."

I don't think I can make my point any simpler than that.

@smekese The Democrats have continued the Bush Endless Wars policy including keeping Gitmo open for business and they have doubled down on the Bush pro Wall Street Banking, anti Main Street economic policies. This continuation of the Bush foreign and domestic policies are the reason the economy is worsening. If the Republicans have no solution for this country,why are the Democrats using the Republican playbook? You're not really paying attention, are you?

@MntlWard The topic of your comment is an attempt to smear the movement calling for the enforcement of existing immigration laws as racist. If it's racist, why aren't you, the Hispanic Supremacists and the big businessmen seeking cheap labor calling for the elimination of existing federal immigration laws? Why make it a racial issue? It's not. It's a coalition of Hispanics seeking more power in numbers and big business seeking cheap labor they don't have to pay benefits to.

@electango Can we stay on the topic of my comment, please? You said that the new law prohibits racial profiling. I demonstrated how racial profiling can be used in the enforcement of the law. My point still stands.

@electango hahaha last time i check.. Democrats approval numbers are higher than Republicans.. good luck with that prediction.. Democrats will still have the majority after Nov.. Republican have no solution for this country..

Respond to this video... People get in trouble for breaking the law. Someone in the USA or even in Mexico BTW must have the permission of the authorities to be there. I cannot just walk across the Mexican border and work or commit crimes or whatever I want to do. I need papers. Is that racial profiling on the part of the Mexican government? Of course not. Why are you so supportive of lawbreakers? In fact, you are using racial politics, the politics of incitement to support lawbreaking.
