Perhaps the most revealing aspect of the federal lawsuit is the fact that it does not challenge the Arizona law on the basis of discrimination, in fact, discrimination is not mentioned once in the entire legal brief, but on the basis of a usurpation of federal authority by the states. In other words, for the last few months Obama and his cronies have been shouting "discrimination, discrimination!" at the top of their lungs for expressly political purposes, and now when the suit is actually filed, it is over the federal government's desire to exercise its authority, or lack thereof.
This is my summation of the motivations and desires of the Obama regime:
Obama is against the Arizona law for two main reasons. The first is that he sees Arizona's actions through his leftist prism of the inviolable right of large bureaucratic government to heal all the nation's problems. He also views the issue through his cultural Marxist, multi-cultic belief in the universal repression of minorities, and the notion that all actions are motivated by a desire to hurt "disadvantaged" groups. This helps him to comfortably oppose the law on ideological grounds in order to reap the political benefits.
The political benefit would be the enticement of Hispanics to vote Democrat in the fall elections. Let's face it, according to all the polls and public opinion, the Democrats are looking at historic electoral losses this fall. In order to possibly salvage Democratic victories, Obama and his cronies will do whatever is possible to secure votes this fall. If that means playing to an issue and a constituency, which is what the Democrats do best, then so be it. Does Obama really care about illegal immigrants? Perhaps he does, but you can rest assured that he cares about the Hispanic vote and turning them out by any means possible, including by creating a divisive issue and increasing his rhetoric towards it in order to foster anger and its subsequent actions.
The second reason why Obama and his regime are against the Arizona law is because if it is successful, it will lead to other states adopting similar legislation. As I previously noted, the Arizona law simply mirrors and enforces federal laws already on the books and which the federal government has refused to enforce properly. If the states enforce these laws using their resources, the border and illegal immigration problem will gradually subside. But this would be a huge defeat for the Democrats. Why? Because the Democrats and Obama want AMNESTY. Amnesty will provide Democrats with what they believe to be 10 million-plus votes. (They believe former illegal immigrants will all become Democrats if the Democrats push the legislation through congress.) The Democrats and Obama know that they will be unable to pass any kind of amnesty bill unless it has border security provisions attached to the legislation. This is why Obama actually told a Senator that he would not secure the borders before he attempts to push an amnesty bill through congress:
And in Obama's own words:
If Arizona, and other states, successfully secure a majority of the border and cut down on illegal immigration, the political expediency of passing any kind of amnesty legislation disappears, therefore eliminating what Democrats believe to be a chance to add 10 million-plus voters to their rolls. You see, Obama and the Democrats are drunk with visions of power, and they desire this power in perpetuity. Their belief in the supremacy of the state to manage the affairs of its citizens, of leftist government to "correct" the "sins" of America, and their desire to redistribute wealth and resources to its "rightful" owners, has led them to embark on a crusade that is in its end result tyranny.
Everything I have just mentioned is perfectly shown in this exchange with Robert Gibbs:
You see, he can't answer because the truth is that opposition to sanctuary cities does not fit the political and ideological agenda of the Obama regime.
