Arizona Immigration Law SB1070 does, in a nutshell, make it illegal to live in or travel through Arizona unless you're a US citizen. Bravo Arizona!
Living in Indiana like I do, I don't see the effects of illegal immigrants as strongly as a resident of Arizona would. In fact most of us live in states where the problem isn't very bad at all because of our distance from foreign borders.
How many times has our government told us they're going to do something to protect and enhance our lives, only to do something completely different when the time actually comes? I lost count a long time ago.
Now enter Arizona. Actually doing something to help its citizenry. Trying to solve a problem that plagues everyone in that state. Taking a stand for its taxpayers when the federal government wont.
California has counties threatening to BOYCOTT Arizona over this. Seriously?! This is a prime example of defending the taxpayers, why would you boycott that? Some groups are saying that this is an excuse for Arizona to do racial profiling against Hispanics, but people are going to profile other people regardless of if they have an excuse or not, it's one of the dark sides of human nature. What it is is an excuse for the voting, taxpaying citizens of Arizona to actually be protected by their state's government. Do we really need an excuse for that now?
So, let's all go tell our friends that Arizona is doing the right thing, and if you have a chance to support that brave state then by all means do so.
