Kalamazoo Central seniors aren't the only ones asked the 'Citizen status' question

[red states rule]

It is clear the Arizona law is the same as existing Federal law, and in some respects is more stringent than the federal law.

So the Obama administration is openly enforcing Secret Service policy, but not current Federal law?





KALAMAZOO — The White House appears to be laying the groundwork for President Barack Obama to shake the hand of each senior at Kalamazoo Central High School’s commencement ceremony next month.

Seniors are being asked to provide their birthdates, Social Security numbers and citizen status to the Secret Service so background checks could be performed. Such a check is required for anyone who gets within an arm’s length of the president, students were told at their senior breakfast Friday.

Of the fact that the White House is requesting information on all the graduating seniors, K-Central Principal Von Washingon Jr. told the students, “I’ll let you figure out what that means,” said senior Simon Boehme, who was at the breakfast.

Too bad the Obama administration doesn't feel that people breaking the law, or there is a reasonable suspicion of them breaking the law, are to be asked for proof of their citizenship status. I love the hypocrisy of this administration.

Is anyone else feeling this is starting to feel a little bit like we are living in Marie Antoinette's court?
