Apparently Barack Obama is not content to
make a
federal case out of his immigration feud with
Arizona; he just made it an international one.
The president’s
first-ever report on U.S. human rights to the UN Human Rights Council contains a rich vein of offensive material. So far, one aspect has not
been reported: our petty president used the situation to bash
Arizona’s immigration law
— and possibly transfer jurisdiction over the law from Arizona to the
UN. Throughout the report, which sounds like an Obama campaign speech,
the president discusses
“the original flaw” of the U.S. Constitution, America’s tolerance for slavery, and
his version of our long and despicable history
of discriminating against and oppressing minorities, women,
homosexuals, and the handicapped. After each complaint, he addresses how
he is delivering us from ourselves, patting himself on the back for
such initiatives as ending “torture,” promoting Affirmative Action, and
passing health care legislation.
In his section on “Values and Immigration,” he praised the Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to provide better medical
care for detainees and
increase “Alternatives To Detention”
(e.g., letting them go). Then he turned to the one state that has had
the temerity to stand in his way of fundamentally transforming the
American electorate:
A recent Arizona law, S.B. 1070, has generated significant attention and debate at home and around the world. 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.
Obama’s turns his skirmish with Jan Brewer from a states rights dispute into an international human rights cause. It also places
Arizona’s law
in the hands of the United Nations.
The national report is but the first step of the international government’s review process. On November 5, the United States will be
examined by a troika of UN bureaucrats from France, Japan, and Cameroon
(an oppressive nation which is a
member of the Organization of Islamic Conference).
This trio will consider three items: Obama’s self-flagellating
report, reports written about America by UN tribunals or international
governing bodies, and testimony from NGOs with a pronounced
anti-American bias. It will also consider “voluntary pledges and
commitments made by the State,” such as suspending an Arizona state
law.
Then the French, Japanese, and Cameroon diplomats will draw up a plan of action for the United States to implement.
Nations are re-examined every four years. The Human Rights Council looks for voluntary compliance. However, its website
asserts, “The Human Rights Council will decide on the measures it would need
to take in case of persistent non-cooperation by a State with the”
World Body.
When the Left cannot win at the ballot box (virtually every time), it overrules the people in the courts. Now that Obama is not sure he
can prevail in the courts, he has overruled the American people by
hauling Arizona and the
two-thirds of Americans who support its law before the United Nations.
