Here's a new one:
When communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids, when nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing, when people are detained without access to legal counsel, when all that is happening, the system just isn’t working, and we need to change it.
ICE performs raids when they have reason to suspect illegal activity, and (occasionally) detains those who are found to be breaking the law. Terrorists strap bombs onto their bodies and detonate them in crowded areas, or they fly airplanes into buildings. Perhaps I'm not as nuanced as Senator Obama is, but I see a big difference there. This guy is supposed to be Commander in Chief material? He's promised to continue the War on Terror, so I have to assume that when we leave Iraq he will redeploy our troops to battle ICE. It only makes sense.
Law enforcement as terror. I haven't heard him make the same argument about enforcing other laws. I almost expect him to say that enforcement of drug laws has 'terrorized' the black community as well, except that would be placing him on the same side as race hucksters Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, and really, who wants to be on the same side as a guy who might cut your nuts off at any moment?
As Ed Morrissey points out, if Obama really believes this hooey, why didn't he do anything about it when he was in the Senate?
And if that’s what Obama thinks of ICE, why has he done nothing about them during the three years he’s been in the Senate?
Illegal workers wouldn’t get rounded up and arrested by ICE if they hadn’t entered the country illegally. When people break the law, they’d better be prepared to get arrested. If Obama wants to change that, then let him propose the bill that does it, which thus far in his career he has declined to do. Until then, Obama had better do some studying to learn the difference between American law enforcement and terrorists.
This was one of the big issues that had many conservatives cold on McCain. Obama has helped Senator McCain by moving so far to the left on this issue that McCain looks like a border-warrior in contrast. It was also delivered to La Raza (The Race), so Obama faces Hispandering charges as well.
If talk radio does its job and Fox News follows up, I expect to be hearing about this one for a long time.
