Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer demanded Friday that a reference to the state’s controversial immigration law be removed from a State Department report to the United Nations’ human rights commissioner.If I were president America wouldn't be making reports to the Human Rights Commission of the UN. I'd send them a letter reminding them that America has done more for human rights around the world than any 50 countries they want to name...combined. And when the world catches up to our record on human rights, then we'll consider sending in a report.
The U.S. included its legal challenge to the law on a list of ways the federal government is protecting human rights.
In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Brewer says it is “downright offensive” that a state law would be included in the report, which was drafted as part of a UN review of human rights in all member nations every four years.
“The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to ‘review’ by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional,” Brewer wrote.
And by the way, we're cutting our dues to the UN to be equal to our percentage of the world's population. If that's not enough to keep the diplomats in their limousines, tough.
