A Mexico two-fer
Obama is driven by ideology, not facts. He knows what constitutes his perfect vision but it is a vision unsullied by reality and he willfully refuses to accept any other view.

The Washington Examiner:
Amid crises, Obama declares war -- on Arizona
The Obama administration has a lot of fights on its hands. Putting aside real wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, there's the battle against leaking oil in the Gulf, the struggle against 9.7 percent unemployment across the country, and clashes over the president's agenda on Capitol Hill. Despite all that, the White House has found time to issue a new declaration of war, this time against an unlikely enemy: the state of Arizona.
The Justice Department is preparing to sue Arizona over its new immigration law. The president has stiffed Gov. Jan Brewer's call for meaningful assistance in efforts to secure the border. And the White House has accused Arizona's junior senator, Republican Jon Kyl, of lying about an Oval Office discussion with the president over comprehensive immigration reform. Put them all together, and you have an ugly state of affairs that's getting uglier by the day.
And all that the Arizona law does is to allow for statewide application of an existing Federal law. There is nothing in the State law that is not already on the Federal books.
And now, the result of Obama's kowtowing to Calderon --
Breitbart/Associated Press:
Mexico asks court to reject Ariz. immigration law
Mexico is asking a federal court in Arizona to declare the state's new immigration law unconstitutional.
Lawyers for Mexico on Tuesday submitted a legal brief in support of a lawsuit challenging the law.
The law generally requires police investigating another incident or crime to ask people about their immigration status if there's a "reasonable suspicion" they're in the country illegally.
It also makes being in Arizona illegally a misdemeanor, and it prohibits seeking day-labor work along the state's streets.
Mexico says its interest in having consistent relations with the United States shouldn't be frustrated by one state.
Mexico also says it has a legitimate interest in defending its citizens' rights and that the law would lead to racial profiling.
Since when does a sovereign nation meddle in the internal affairs of another sovereign nation. When illegal immigrants are sending back billions of dollars of aid to their families?
I certainly encourage immigration but it must be legal.
