Nancy Pelosi doesn't think enforcing some of our immigration laws is a good idea. I guess we don't need the Justice Department. We can just ask Pelosi what laws she thinks we ought to enforce.
Last weekend, the House speaker was condemning raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at an immigration event in San Francisco.
Madame Speaker had this to say: "Who in our country would not want to change a policy of kicking in doors in the middle of the night and sending a parent away from their family? It must be stopped. What values system is that? I think it's un-American. I think it's un-American."
In case what she said was not crystal clear, Nancy Pelosi was telling a largely Hispanic audience in California that enforcing America's immigration laws is un-American. This is called pandering.
On Friday, Pelosi said she's standing by those idiotic statements, adding that we have to enforce our laws, control our borders, protect our workers, and create a path to legalization for those who aren't full documented, but repeated that does not mean kicking in doors in the middle of the night. Pelosi said what we really need is comprehensive immigration reform.

So here's the question. Nancy Pelosi says enforcing our immigration laws is "un-American." Is she right?
