"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Hillary Clinton's Department of State Submits Report to UN Human Rights Commissioner Mentioning Arizona Law

UPDATE:  Click here for copy of Governor Brewer's letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
____________

Cannot fathom the anger that Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona, Senator McCain, and the Legislature along with Arizona residents are feeling right now toward Obama, Hillary, and the State Department. To mention one of our States in a report to the United Nations on Human Rights is beyond despicable. This whole bunch of liberal, progressive Democrats have reached a new low.

"A recent Arizona law, S.B. 1070, has generated significant attention and debate at home and around the world," the report says. "The issue is being addressed in a court action that argues that the federal government has the authority to set and enforce immigration law. That action is ongoing; parts of the law are currently enjoined."
For those  who thought Hillary would make a better President than Obama, think again. She may turn out to be the worst Secretary of State to go along with Obama the worst President in modern times. She thinks nothing of signing our rights away to the UN or playing up to our enemies but then she did a good job of that as First Lady with Arafat's wife, Suha .   Following the terrorist speech of Suha Arafat where she accused Israel of poisoning Palestinians, Hillary gave her a hug and kiss.

It took Hillary Clinton a full 24 hours before she condemned parts of the speech. Who does she answer to now? Obama who also plays up to our enemies and disses our allies. Now we have this from the Hillary State Department talking about Arizona and human rights when the law specifically forbids racial profiling. Maybe if she took the time to read the law instead of wasting our tax dollars flying around the world, she would know what the Arizona Immigration Law says but then she might not be able to comprehend the meaning of 'prohibit' which is a wee bit longer the the word 'is' her husband used during his testimony on Monicagate.

It never stops with this group of wanna be dictators. Does Obama want the UN to decide so he can blame them. Hillary, being the 'world's smartest woman' according to her adoring media, missed the boat on this one as well as a lot of other items since becoming Secretary of State. Maybe the media needs to revise their 'world's smartest woman' mantra for Hillary.
Brewer condemns report to UN mentioning Ariz. law

By JONATHAN J. COOPER, Associated Press Writer Jonathan J. Cooper, Associated Press Writer – Fri Aug 27, 10:57 pm ET
PHOENIX – Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer demanded Friday that a reference to the state's controversial immigration law be removed from a State Department report to the United Nations' human rights commissioner.

The U.S. included its legal challenge to the law on a list of ways the federal government is protecting human rights.

In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Brewer says it is "downright offensive" that a state law would be included in the report, which was drafted as part of a UN review of human rights in all member nations every four years.

"The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to 'review' by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional," Brewer wrote.

Arizona's law generally requires police officer enforcing other laws to investigate the immigration status of people they suspect are illegal immigrants.

Critics say it would lead officers to target Hispanics. Supporters, including Brewer, say the law prohibits racial profiling and other human rights abuses.

The U.S. Justice Department sued to block the measure, arguing federal law trumps the state's authority to enforce immigration laws.

A federal judge in July sided with the Justice Department and blocked enforcement of the law's most controversial provisions a day before it was scheduled to take effect.
