rod03801: I am speaking of liberal politicians and of course I'm using hyperbole.   I don't really mean it for them either.  But I do mean that they will do whatever it takes to court the vote.  (Republicans do this on some level as well).   It's all about power.  What right to illegal aliens have to be in America?  None really.  But the left makes it about civil rights etc.  That's how they play it.  Clinton characterized the Arizona law as a human rights violation.  She doesn't really mean that because she knows better.   The Arizona law mirrors an existing Federal law.  It's all a ploy by Clinton and Obama (his adminstration has filed suit) to gain the Hispanic vote.  Blacks are paid off in entitlements for their votes.  And people like Sharpton keep the myth of racism alive.  I don't mean to say there exists no racism theses days.  But it's not the 50's or the 60's any longer.  So what was Sharpton doing marching arm in arm with those other black civil rights dinosaurs singing we shall overcome?  It's all about keeping racism alive (keeping alive the idea that this is still a racist country etc).  It's propaganda.  And generations of blacks will grow up hating an enemy that doesn't exist.
