Miss Oklahoma Opines On Arizona Immigration Law, Comes Out Unscathed

Where have you gone Carrie Prejean? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you. During last night’s Miss USA pageant, Miss Oklahoma USA Morgan Elizabeth Woolard was asked by actor Oscar Nunez (from NBC’s The Office for her thoughts on the controversial. Arizona Immigration law.) In a rather remarkable turn, Woolard made clear her support of the anti-illegal immigration law in a nuanced and unoffensive way. Perhaps she should run for office?

Woolard offered: “I’m a huge believer in states’ rights. I think that’s what’s so wonderful about America. So I think it’s perfectly fine for Arizona to create that law.” And just to make sure she didn’t become the next conservative pariah (a la Prejean), she added a tolerant, if not banal, bon mot at the end, saying that she was “against racial profiling.”
