Take the MSNBC Online Poll on Arizona’s Immigration Law: 7/13/10 Results = 96% Favor (3,447,000) & 4% Oppose (144,000)

MSNBC is conducting an online poll asking if people think Arizona’s immigration law, SB 1070, is a good idea. Take the poll and view the latest poll results. Update: As of July 14, 2010, the poll was taken down. The numbers in the above headline were the numbers from the evening of July 13, 2010. Could it be because ultra liberal MSNBC didn’t like the results? Normally, a website would love to have 3.5 million visitors in a short period of time with the promise of millions more to ONE SINGLE PAGE!

July 12, 2010, Columns on Arizona’s Immigration Law

1. New York Post: “Behind US v. Arizona: pure politics”

“The Obama administration’s lawsuit against the state of Arizona offers a revealing window into the Holder Justice Department. And the picture isn’t pretty. . . . The decision to file civil charges or to file a civil lawsuit should be based purely on the strength of the legal case against the defendant, not on politics. And when it comes to the Arizona law, the federal government’s case is a weak one.”

2. New York Times: “Governors Voice Grave Concerns on Immigration”

“Democratic governors said they worried that the administration’s suit against Arizona’s new immigration law could cost the party in the elections.”

3. Fox News: “Holder Floats Possibility of Racial Profiling Suit Against Arizona”

4. New York Times Magazine: “Obama’s Phoenix Act”

5. Politico: “Axelrod: no prez tougher on border than Obama”

6. Breitbart: “AFL-CIO Advocates Cutting Off AZ Cops From Federal Training”

July 11, 2010, Columns on Arizona’s Immigration Law

1. Real Clear Politics: “From Australia to America, the Concerns Are the Same”

2. Fox News: “Virginia Lawmaker Challenges Feds to Sue His State Over Immigration Enforcement”

“Prince William [County, Virginia] is well-known for its immigration policy requiring officers to check the immigration status of suspects in custody”

3. Fox News: “Holder Floats Possibility of Racial Profiling Suit Against Arizona” Read these incredible statements Fox News attributes to the man who didn’t real the Arizona law:

“Holder . . . said the Justice Department decided to file the suit because Arizona’s immigration law is ‘inconsistent’ with federal policy and the U.S. Constitution. He said there’s nothing to stop local jurisdictions and states from helping the government enforce immigration law, but described Arizona’s law as contradictory to what the federal government is trying to accomplish.”

Huh! Arizona’s stated intent of its new law is to enforce the U.S. immigration law, which is why it makes violating the federal immigration law a state crime. Is Holder saying that the federal government is not trying to enforce the U.S. immigration laws, which is why Arizona’s attempt to enforce the US IMMIGRATION LAW is inconsistent with the federal goal?
