My wife has family in Arizona.
My son’s GF of three years was born and raised in Arizona and her family still lives there - She’s first generation American, her mother and father are from Mexico. This is the first year her family has NOT traveled to Mexico for the annual two weeks vacation due to the violence. They have never mentioned feeling harassed or threatened as a normal way of life living in Arizona.

I think some of you folks need to end the hyperbole and over-the-top generalizations of all things Arizona.

People see a handful of newspaper articles, and they get scared and stereotypey.

That said, I think AZ’s got some issues right now, although I’m sure for most people it’s a fine place to live.
