DAME SU VOTO (2)

Hot line for reporting civil rights violations resulting from Arizona’s ‘show me your papers’ cop stops is another Obama political ploy to solidify the Latino vote.

In light of the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the "show me your papers" provision of Arizona's immigration law, Obama’s Justice Department immediately set up a telephone hotline number and an email address for those who believe their rights have been violated when they were detained by the cops for an immigration status check.

The hotline is in effect just begging people to report that they were victims of racial profiling. That will result in a slew of lawsuits challenging Arizona’s ‘show me your papers’ police stops. And then there will be the civil lawsuits that are sure to be filed which will bankrupt the cities and counties being sued. Furthermore, there are other states that have similar provisions in their laws and they will suffer Arizona’s fate, should they decide to conduct their own ‘show me your papers’ stops.

First Obama panders to Latinos by issuing an executive order giving undocumented immigrants immunity from deportation if they were brought to the United States before they turned 16 and are younger than 30 and giving them the right to apply for a work permit that will be good for two years with no limits on how many times it can be renewed, clearly a form of amnesty. And now the Justice Department hotline.

Because the presidential election is now less than five months away, Obama is in full campaign mode. Anyone with half-a-brain should be able to see that by setting up the hotline and email address, the Justice Department is injecting itself into the campaign by pandering to Latino voters. What we have here is just another political ploy that facilitates Obama’s asking them to:

__Dama su voto! Give me your vote!
