Even though I think the Arizona immigration law is stupid and racist, I can’t help but enjoy this comic, which makes fun of people (like me) who point out that illegal immigrants are only taking jobs that we don’t want anyway. © John Trever

Here at Political Irony, we firmly believe that comedy is the best cure for political problems (well, at the very least it helps you laugh at them). So we were very happy to see Stephen Colbert join with the United Farm Workers of America in a new website: http://www.takeourjobs.org/. The website invites anyone who is […]

I’ve already done two posts about repeated, baldfaced lies told by Arizona governor Jan Brewer. First, non-partisan PolitiFact revealed that she lied repeatedly about Arizona’s new immigration law. Next, she repeatedly claimed that the majority of illegal immigrants coming over the border are smuggling drugs, despite absolutely no evidence to back up her claim (and […]
In a previous post, we caught Arizona governor Jan Brewer lying repeatedly about the anti-immigrant law she had just signed. She kept saying that “under SB 1070 there must first be reasonable suspicion that you are breaking some OTHER non-immigration law before an officer can ask a person about their legal status.” But if you […]

Why is it that racists always start sentences with “I am not a racist, but …”? Are they really in denial or are they just lying? And they almost always follow up with some comment about being “very good friends” with some member of the minority in question. Arizona is making racist news again. This […]

So, curious what could possibly go wrong with Arizona’s new anti-illegal immigrant law? Don’t think it will be used to discriminate against Mexicans (or people who look like Mexicans)? Consider the recent case of Eduardo Caraballo. Caraballo was held for three days by federal immigration authorities in Chicago, was told that he was an illegal […]

Just two years ago, Arizona needed workers. How long before they decide they need to go easier on illegals again?

via Friends of Irony So when are they going to make it illegal for politicians to take bribes? Oh, that’s right, they just made it legal for corporations to throw as much money as they want at politicians.

John McCain is running a campaign ad in Arizona, saying that Arizona should “Complete the Danged Fence” and increase border security: But McCain himself voted against the fence, and voted against increasing funding for border security several times. Did he just forget?
Lewis Black is brilliant: UPDATE: I can’t stop laughing every time I watch this.
Whatever you think of governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, you have to admit that he has a good sense of humor. On Monday, he gave the commencement address at Emory University in Atlanta (and received an honorary degree in return): This is my first law degree. … Finally, the Kennedys will think I’m a success. And Maria […]

I’m visiting Arizona for a week, and I’m taking this opportunity to talk to some of the locals about the new immigration law. I’ve just begun, but I’ve already noticed a few interesting things. First of all, everyone I’ve talked to has repeated the claim that police will only be able to check someone’s immigration […]
