I have no issue with the mosque in NYC, but I do have an issue with those who feel it’s just fine for New Yorkers to make decisions about New York, but when Arizonans try to make a decision about a major issue in their sphere of influence, it’s NOT OK. Because, you know, those scummy Arizonans are just a bunch of racists. Never mind that those judging Arizonans probably don’t live there and are also not as well informed about the laws as those who do. Hypocrisy abounds …

I am from Arizona, but no longer live there. They managed to get enough national attention to get Obama to send National Guard troops to the border.

A first step. But they are not in a position to overhaul immigration policy, that is a federal issue. Any solutions Arizona implements on its own will be only a patch on the problem.
