Thread: State Department apologizing to China over AZ law??

Mr. Pozner appears to be misguided.

US Cites AZ Immigration Law During Human Rights Talks with China, Conservatives Call It An Apology
May 17, 2010 12:17 PM

ABC News' Kirit Radia reports:
During two days of talks about human rights with China last week, the US raised examples of problems on its own soil and cited Arizona's controversial new immigration law as an example of "racial discrimination."

“We brought it up early and often. It was mentioned in the first session and as a troubling trend in our society, and an indication that we have to deal with issues of discrimination or potential discrimination. And these are issues very much being debated in our own society,â€

Oh the Clinton's are puppies in the hands of the Chinese.

Quote:
"Speaking earlier on Friday morning the US Ambassador to China, and former Republican governor of Utah, Jon Huntsman said that the talks on human rights were difficult...."

The father of former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman is an exceptionally wealthy man who holds the luxurious philosophy that there is something morally deficient about someone who dies without giving all his wealth away while he is alive as he is doing. While Jon Huntsman (who speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese) was Governor of Utah, he emphasized trade relations with Mexico, and the primary aim of his "financial plan", like that of many Southwestern governors, seemed to be to open the borders with Mexico as wide as possible in order to increase trade. Obviously the Arizona law threatens Huntsman's economic philosphiy and that of many other U.S. elected officials, especially in this part of the country.

In Arizona, a Stream of Illegal Immigrants From China By STEPHEN CEASAR
TUCSON — The unforgiving terrain of the Sonoran Desert, south of here, whose searing summers and frigid winters claim hundreds of lives each year, has long been a favored avenue of entry for illegal immigrants from Mexico and other Latin American countries. But in the last year, the authorities say, smugglers have increasingly capitalized on a much more lucrative business — trafficking Chinese citizens into the United States.

The number of Chinese immigrants arrested while illegally crossing the border into Arizona through the busiest smuggling corridor in the United States increased tenfold in the last fiscal year, according to the United States Border Patrol in Tucson.

In fiscal 2009, 332 Chinese immigrants were caught in the Border Patrol’s Tucson sector, up from 30 the previous year, Border Patrol figures showed. And in what could be a sign of a record-breaking pace for this year, agents in the Border Patrol’s Tucson sector arrested 281 Chinese immigrants from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

The reason is simple: dollars and cents.

As record quantities of illegal drugs are being intercepted in Arizona, those involved in taking people and drugs across the border are increasingly concentrating on the more rewarding smuggling of Chinese immigrants, said David Jimarez, a spokesman for the Border Patrol.

Chinese immigrants commonly pay smugglers upward of $40,000 each to lead them from their homeland to the United States, Mr. Jimarez said. In comparison, he said, illegal immigrants from Mexico commonly pay $1,500 to $3,000.

“The price far exceeds other nationalities, mainly due to the elaborate nature of the trip from China to Mexico,â€

Yes, I see them. They travel to work in bus-like vans and live in dormitory style conditions - not the "American" lifestyle. They are like slaves to my POV.

"In the most common one, immigrants fly from Beijing to Rome, board a plane to Caracas, Venezuela,...."

What a coincidence: the capital city of NPR-TV's Tavis Smiley's hero, Hugo Chavez! He may be a dictator and a communist, but Chavez is not "a racist". Keep on dreaming, Mr. Smiley; if "the revolution" comes, you, like the rest of us (regardless of color) in this country will not be "comrades"; we all simply will be "gringos", infidels, and/or "not Chinese", depending on the winning faction of those now vying to take over our geographical space, natural resources, and (perhaps former) economic might.

I was STUNNED to see what Pozner said to the Chinese. Speechless.
This man along with Eric Holder must go!! They are anti-American scumbags!
