David Rivera: I’m for it, no against it, well… who’s my audience?

State Rep. David Rivera, he who spends our tax dollars on frivolous unconstitutional laws that later cost us (the taxpayers) money, has now come out for the racist immigration law in Arizona, and then he came out more or less against it, and finally he may have decided that he’s for it depending on the group before him and against it if that group happens to be Latino District 25 voters. That’s right… politics becomes difficult/easy/you choose when you’re a renowned flip-flopper who believes in only himself and in getting elected for HIS own good, which basically defines David Rivera.

Here he’s for it:

And with The Miami Herald he was against it, or at least no too sure:

No yea or nay from David Rivera on contentious Arizona immigration law

State Rep. David Rivera did not support or oppose a controversial immigration law in Arizona Tuesday, despite pressure from Democrat Joe Garcia, his likely opponent in a congressional race, that he take a position.

“The law is a distraction from the real solutions that are required to solve the immigration problem,” such as securing the border and developing a viable guest-worker program, said Rivera, a Miami Republican and the House budget chief who is running for the seat being vacated by U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart.

“A lot of what’s going on in Arizona happens in practice already throughout the nation,” Rivera added. “When police officers do a legal stop and they run the information or the data or the name and they find the person is here illegally, they immediately interface with federal immigration authorities.”

Other Florida Republicans running for higher office, like Attorney General Bill McCollum and Marco Rubio, a close Rivera ally, balked at Arizona’s initial law.

But they supported a change to outlaw ethnic and racial profiling by police — though critics say without any clearly defined criteria, police will be forced to base their suspicions about a person’s legal status on their nationality or language skills. (More on Rubio’s position here.)

Rivera wouldn’t elaborate on either version of the law: “The more you focus on the Arizona law, the less you focus on what congressional leaders need to do to solve the problem,” he said.
