Thread: Big hub-bub in Arizona right now...

Arizona has a long history of not trusting ID from hither and yon...

In Arizona's defense it is very big state with a thin population and
could quickly get more overrun than it already is. I have friends in
southern Arizona that have considered abandoning their home because
of the immigrant foot traffic. They are 20 miles from their mailbox
and 20 miles from the border....

Between economic disparity and rampant drug problems there are some
law enforcement issues to ponder. This is not new -- it was obviously
a festering problem in the '60s and it has not diminished.

In Mexico City the locals commented to me about some of the
large "invasions" that have colonized what used to be parks and
open spaces in the city. These shanty towns initially get electricity via
a mesh of extension cords miles long and water via a mesh of garden
hoses miles long....

I do not think the Arizona law will survive the courts but the constitution
mandates some things that are fully the responsibility of the federal
government but fall heavy on the border states.

Time will tell.
