In its quest for "a more perfect union, a more perfect world," no less, President Barack Obama's State Department has issued a "Universal Periodic Review on Human Rights" in the United States, in which it has tattled to the U.N. high commissioner about the errant ways of Arizona. On page 23 of this grandiosely titled bit of pomposity, under the heading "Values and Immigration," it is stated:
"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."
The reference here is to Arizona's attempts to exercise its naturally licit right, and obligation, to protect its law-abiding citizens from the consequences of a full-on, lawless, frequently dangerous foreign invasion.
As the Mexican free-market economist Ricardo Valenzuela has argued, "The only thing that Arizona has done is to approve the laws they consider necessary to promote a civilized way of life for their societies. The new Arizona law doesn't penalize immigration. The law only gives the police force the tools to secure the rule of law." The difference between Arizona and Mexico, notes Valenzuela – who is concerned with retaining the conditions for prosperity in the U.S. and creating these in Mexico – is that the first enforces the rule of law and the latter doesn't know the meaning of those words.
