On August 12, 2009 former CNN reporter Lou Dobbs critiques the Amnesty Bill that was working its way through the various committees in Washington last summer. In the news clip Dobbs praises Minority Leader John Boehner for his candid remarks on the proposed bill. President Obama it appears favors a lenient immigration law. Yesterday the President used a naturalization ceremony in the Rose Garden to lash out at the Arizona Legislature for passing a bill requiring proof of legal status and empowering state and local police to stop people based on a suspicion of being illegal immigrants.

He singled out the Arizona bill – which would make it crime to be in the state without documentation – now before Republican Gov. Janice Brewer. The governor has until Saturday to decide whether to sign it, veto it or allow it to become law without her signature.
\”Our failure to act responsibly at the federal level will only open the door to irresponsibility by others,\” Obama said. \”That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threatened to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe.\”
