As if the Obama administration’s lawsuit against the state of Arizona wasn’t outrageous enough, now Arizonans are learning that the State Department under Hillary Clinton has referenced the Arizona illegal-immigration law to the scandal-ridden U.N. Human Rights Commission (HRC).

“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,” wrote Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer.

Arizona border Sheriff Larry Dever told CNSNews.com: “Well, it’s just amazing to me. Course, I have about as much regard for the U.N. as I do the vermin that hides in the rocks around my house…”

Apparently the Obama administration considers it a “human right” to enter this country illegally and take advantage of social services paid for by the citizens. This proves yet again how antagonistic this administration is toward the American people. Note the disconnect between the elites and Middle America on issues that do not directly affect the former, but do the latter. Their upscale neighborhoods and private schools do not suffer from the impact of illegal immigration, and thus they are free to engage in the moral preening so common to those removed from reality.

The standard tactic of this administration and its allies in the media is to brand supporters of the Arizona law as racists, despite overwhelming support and other states proposing similar legislation. But to paraphrase Victor Hanson, the bigot card is not much more than a political ploy these days to win an argument through calumny.

Moreover, the U.N. Human Rights Commission is a farce, considering it has truly oppressive autocratic nations on its panel who routinely engage in genuine human rights abuses. There is a mechanism known as “universal periodic review,” under which each country submits a report and is assessed by the HRC every four years. Iran recently presented the condition of its human rights in glowing terms, while the Obama administration attacks the state of Arizona for merely enforcing the equivalent of federal immigration laws.
