La Russa supports immigration law
ESPN.com news services
ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa says he
supports Arizona legislation calling for tougher enforcement against
illegal immigrants.
Opponents of the law have called for Major League Baseball to move the
2011 All-Star Game out of the state.
La Russa says Arizona has a problem that the national government has
failed to remedy. The manager, who lives in northern California, spoke
this week before a game in St. Louis between the Cardinals and Arizona
Diamondbacks.
"I'm actually a supporter of what Arizona is doing," La Russa said.
"If the national government doesn't fix your problem, you've got a
problem. You've got to fix it yourself. That's just part of the
American way."
Gov. Jan Brewer signed a state law in April requiring police officers
to question a person's immigration status if there's reasonable doubt
he or she might be in the country illegally.
Dozens of St. Louis Tea Party members were at Busch Stadium to show
their support of the Arizona immigration law, prompting La Russa to
touch on the subject.
La Russa told reporters he encouraged the presence of different points
of view, and said he believed the Tea Party's stances were "correct"
on "a lot of things."

To say that any group (i.e. "The Tea Party") is correct on a good
number of matters is *not* to support them.
Hell, Glen Beck is right about some things and so were Ralph Nader, Al
Gore and Bernie Mac. Am I supporting them by saying that? Closer to
damning them with faint praise.

You may want to examine your logic a little more closely.
