We have opposed nativism and xenophobia at every turn, and we’re not above, when we see it from time to time, calling racism by its correct name. But even we, who feel America is an under-populated nation needing all the people we can get, are shocked at the decision of Secretary of State Clinton to take the matter of Arizona’s immigration law to the United Nations Human Rights Council.

What in the world was Mrs. Clinton thinking?

...

What was she thinking indeed. A representative of our national governement taking an individual state of her own country before the UN??

I am far from being a "One world governement under the UN" tin hatter, but this really tilts my worldview axis a degree or two. WTF???

I don't think it's all that controversial. I didn't even know about this, so I had to go look it up.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has told the United Nations that America's human rights record is less than perfect but stressed that the U.S. political system has built-in safeguards that promote improvements.
In its first-ever report to the U.N. Human Rights Council on conditions in the United States, the State Department said Monday that some Americans, notably minorities, are still victims of discrimination. Despite success in reforming such inequities as slavery and the denial of women's right to vote, the department said, considerable progress is still needed.
"Although we have made great strides, work remains to meet our goal of ensuring equality before the law for all," it said.
The report noted that although the U.S. now has an African-American president and that women and Hispanics have won greater social and economic success, large segments of American society suffer from unfair policies and practices.
High unemployment rates, hate crime, poverty, poor housing, lack of access to health care and discriminatory hiring practices are among the challenges the report identified as affecting blacks, Latinos, Muslims, South Asians, Native Americans and gays and lesbians in the United States.

Frankly, I agree with the former Bush Administration's desire not to join this Human Rights Council in the UN. However, having joined, apparently members are required to submit an annual report, and this is it.

This part is especially gagalicious:

At the same time, it said that the U.S. welcomed "observations and recommendations" from council members "that can help us on that road to a more perfect union."

Blah!

However, this not as it is being reported in some quarters. It's not like Hillary Clinton went tattle-tailing to the UN with some "Arizona is naughty, please smack them down" report.

Short answer: I wish we hadn't joined this council of the UN. Having done so, the report doesn't seem to be a big deal. They can't do anything about it other than 'advise' us. Blah to that, but there you go.
