NEW YORK (PNN) - June 25, 2012 - The Fascist Police States of Amerika Supreme Court’s decision on Arizona’s strict immigration law gave illegitimate President Obama another shot at energizing Latino voters, while Mitt Romney defended states’ aggressive efforts to fight illegal immigration.

For Obama, both parts of the court’s split decision have the potential to encourage get-out-the-vote efforts. He appealed to voters worried about racial profiling, given that the provision of the law the court let stand allows pig thug cops to check for proof of legal residence.

Romney, who was visiting Arizona for a fundraising event, used the ruling to appeal to conservatives concerned about border security.

“I believe that each state has the duty - and the right - to secure our borders and preserve the rule of law, particularly when the federal government has failed to meet its responsibilities,” said Romney in a statement.

Romney is trying to retain the base of his party that supports cracking down on illegal immigrants while appealing to Hispanics in swing states like Colorado, Florida and Virginia.

A prominent view in the Romney campaign is that he has no need to further court Hispanics on immigration. A new survey from Gallup on Monday showed that Latino voters ranked immigration only fifth in importance, behind health care and a host of economic concerns.

However, the Romney campaign’s attitude seemed to be that this too shall pass. One adviser on Hispanic issues said he expected the advantage to Obama to last a day or so, until an even weightier Supreme Court ruling, on the president’s unconstitutional health care law, lands later this week.
