Schumer (D-NY) Asks AZ Gov to Delay Immigration Law

....to allow the Federal Government time to pass immigration reform.

A prominent Senate Democrat is asking Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer to put off her state's controversial new immigration law for a year to give Congress a chance to pass a federal law - a long-shot request on a bill that even the White House says is nearly dead.

"There's not enough support to move forward," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Thursday.

But among Democrats, there's plenty of support for trying - in public - during this year of midterm elections. The party's control of Congress depends in part on keeping a key constituency - Hispanics - voting Democratic.

I'm confused. 90% of the AZ law mirrors Federal law....which would imply there's ALREADY immigration reform on our books. Me thinks the last line in this quote hits the REAL purpose behind Schumer's lame attempt....

Ah....politics at its finest.

Schumer found a TV camera and his diarrhea of the mouth kicked in.

I agree with Schumer. What's another year (give or take 20 or 30)

Schumer's a dumbass.

Schumer's a dumbass.

He's a politician. He's a democrat. He's from New York. It goes MUCH deeper than just "dumbass".

Dude is 0 for 3.

It would be nice if Chuck would take care of the state HE helped fu*k up and leave Arizona to THEIR representatives.

Its none of his business what goes on in Arizona and if JD Hayworth had any guts he would hold a press conference and tell Schumer to shut the fu*k up.
