The State Department on Tuesday defended a top-ranking diplomat who expressed regret to China last week about Arizona's immigration law during a discussion on human rights in Washington.

Spokesman P.J. Crowley, in an interview with Fox News, disputed the notion that Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner was apologizing to China, saying he was actually "standing up" for America by describing how debate functions in a "civil society."

But he echoed other top Obama administration officials in describing the law as a gateway to "racial profiling" and doubled down on Posner's comments to the Chinese.

Looks like the article is exposing another idiot in our government:

Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a longtime critic of China's human rights record, told Fox News he's "tired" of seeing comments like this, particularly to a delegation from "one of the most repressive societies in the world."

"It's unseemly that a member of our State Department and the administration should be apologizing to China," Burton said.

But Crowley backed Posner for bringing up the Arizona law as something of comparable concern.

"There is, as many have said, real concerns about -- that this Arizona law will inevitably devolve into racial profiling. That would be a fundamental challenge to human rights around the world," Crowley said.

Crowley acknowledged Tuesday that he has not read the Arizona law, putting him in the same boat as top officials like Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Holder admitted last week that he has not read the 18-page law, though he has publicly warned that it could lead to racial profiling.

Time to vote that guy out as well.

We should probably adopt China's border policy. Shoot them or put them in labor camps.

Immigrant hate is just the latest fad for haters who are full of self contempt and need, desperately need, to dump that hate off on others. Immigrant is the disgusting underbelly of slime lizards who live on stolen Indian land as wave entitlement papers. Your entitlement papers are going to be burned by the flaming farts of immigrant children. The breeders have arrived to suck you dry. Bye bye, assholes.

What's supremely ironic oh resident Loonbeam is that, had Native American Indians had the benefit of a time machine, when the first explorers/settlers started landing here, they would assuredly have not even enacted an effective immigration program that most current US residents desire, they'd have gone to outright killing of the invaders (because long term, that's what "we" were).

Talk about assholes, killing to protect their way of life....

Did you post in the wrong thread? This isnt about immigration.

I heard some nuts on I think NPR comparing the Arizona Law to the Chinese Exclusion Act. Maybe that’s what all this is about. I don’t see how they are at all the same.

Yeah but they'll never compare it to Mexico's own laws on illegal immigration which are harsher then that of Arizona's laws.

Yet in the mind of liberals the US is evil and the Communist Chinese get an apology for Arizona enacting a law that the feds have failed at enforcing.

When all else fails, poison the wells, huh?

LOL! So how many squatters do you have living in your house?

Why don't you give us your real address so all the "immigrants" know where to go for their "love"? I LMAO at idiots who think because you're for enforcing our rule of law that you must somehow think you are entitleled and by inference, lazy and/or stupid.

It's time for the afluent Kalifornians to learn how to clean their own pool and mow their own lawns. In other words get ready to pay a fair wage. Illeglals are like walmart employees, under paid and over worked, but as long as it's coming your way you defend it?

It seems to me you sure aren't very enlightened on this subject.

China, the country that when it finds North Koreans who ran away from that fvcking nightmare ships them right back.

Posner has been part of the blame America first crowd well before he became a senior State Department official.

The problem as I see it is that based on the work he has engaged in for so long he should be well able to distinguish the severity of the various human rights abuses that exist around the world.

To lump an Arizona State law that mimics the U.S. Federal law with the national abuses that have occurred in China, where millions have perished under that Communist regime, is simply ludicrous.
