AZ immigration law makes its beauty pageant debut Miss Oklahoma is asked about her stance on immigration enforcement

LAS VEGAS, NV—Judge Oscar Nunez from television’s The Office (one of the funniest shows on TV) asked Morgan Woolard, Miss Oklahoma 2010 what she thought of the controversy surrounding Arizona’s new immigration law, “I’m a huge believer in states’ rights. I think that’s what’s so wonderful about America."

The knee-jerk reaction is to assume this was a gotcha type question, not necessarily to rob Miss Oklahoma of the crown, but to get a ton of free press. So, we’re using our free press to give Mr. Trump and his judges what they want—sort of.

I’ve always marveled at the dichotomy surrounding beauty pageants: the contestants are stunning young women but somehow expected to come up with Winston Churchill or John Locke treatises on world peace.  This question was obviously this year’s gay marriage question, posed to Carrie Prejean, Miss California 2009, was asked a loaded question about same-sex marriage.

Ratings these publicity stunts may garner, but using such serious issues to pad ratings and turn attention away from the actual issue is shameful. Arizona should enforce its borders if the feds won’t do so, but in the eyes of politicians and pageant directors, they are looking at voters and viewers, not citizens whom need to be protected.
