2010 Miss USA crowned in Las Vegas (Immigration was a question)

[82Marine89]

LAS VEGAS – A 24-year-old brunette from Michigan recovered after nearly stumbling in her evening gown and beat out four blondes and 46 other women to take the 2010 Miss USA title on Sunday.

Rima Fakih of Dearborn, Mich., won the pageant at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip after swimsuit, evening gown and interview competitions.

From the article....

Miss Oklahoma USA Morgan Elizabeth Woolard was named first runner-up after handling a question about Arizona's new immigration law. Woolard said she supports the law, which requires police enforcing another law to verify a person's immigration status if there's "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the country illegally.

She said she's against illegal immigration but is also against racial profiling.

"I'm a huge believer in states' rights. I think that's what's so wonderful about America. So I think it's perfectly fine for Arizona to create that law."

"The Office" actor Oscar Nunez was booed as he asked the question and asked the audience to wait until he finished the question before they reacted.

How can you observe both? Islam seeks to destroy Christianity and Christianity doesn't look to highly upon Islam.

My daughter was in the audience and when the question came up for Miss Oklahoma she said she was very happy with her answer and was the one whistling (my daughter lives in AZ). Too bad Miss Oklahoma didn't get it -- we were voting for her!

This just cracks me up Gabby - she is Miss USA and the first thing you post about her is that she is ARAB American............why can't someone be just a plain old AMERICAN!!!!

She's a beautiful woman. Come to think of it, I've met quite a few beautiful women from Lebanon...

This Lebanese hotty may be beautiful and even talented, but the deciding factor was that muslims are presently the Darlings Of Liberalism.

more than likely. They wanted an immigrant to win, not some home grown American. just a little statement there..

Gabbys onto something and doesn't even know it...

When I found out she was as Arab/American(I assumed Muslim) the contest was over for me...she won on that ethnic background alone....there were far more beautiful contestants....
So the contest was a farce...the guilt-ridden pinhead liberals were gonna pick her no matter what...

Having trouble making up your mind?

My husband could attest that two days before the contest I predicted she would win when I saw her name.

Gabby: I heard that the woman's family (extended, most likely) has some Christians. Are you sure that she herself practices both religions? That doesn't sound right to me. (For that matter, she could be referring to one cousin, twice removed as the Christian part of the family).

People were booing the question before the judge could even get it all out.
