No "victory for all Americans" was had in Hazelton, Pa., Senator Obama

By Mary MacElveen


In my previous piece, I spoke of the court ruling against the town of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, in which the decision basically stated that this town’s laws could not trump federal laws when it comes to illegal immigration.


In watching yesterday’s ‘Lou Dobbs Tonight’ program on CNN, this is what they reported concerning Senator Barack Obama’s opinion of the case ruling, “Well presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama voiced support for yesterday's court ruling that struck down Hazleton's illegal immigration law. Senator Obama called the federal court ruling a victory for all Americans. The senator said comprehensive reform is needed so local communities do not continue to take matters into their own hands. Senator Obama was a supporter of the Senate's failed immigration bill, which would have given amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.â€
