Agency Arizona Estate Real

The blind hostility of the Obama administration toward Arizona's new immigration law was manifested by statements of high administration officials before they had even read and analyzed the statute. Investor's Business Daily (print edition, July 8, 2010) reported the statements of Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano and Attorney General, Eric Holder - both of whom, ignorant of the actual provisions in the law, tarred the Arizona law with insinuations of racial profiling. Those insinuations never materialized into anything, and were later dropped.

Facts Surrounding the Lawsuit

When the suit was filed, there was no mention of racial profiling. (Significantly, at the complaint-filing stage of a lawsuit, a Plaintiff generally makes broad allegations, including charges that it might only remotely be able to prove later at trial.) The failure to include any profiling charges is very telling about the initial bias of high Administration officials, and the extent to which they first negatively pre-judged the law. Administration officials obviously discovered, after they actually read the law, what any fair-minded reader would discover – namely, that Arizona’s law actually expressly prohibits racial profiling.

Significantly, the Arizona law requires the commission of an offense before local lawmen can ask questions about an arrestee’s immigration status. Federal enforcers already have this right, yet somehow have avoided racial profiling charges.
