(1) I live in Arizona and this is a bunch of conservative bullshit. Has not happened.
(2) You should read up on the politicians here and the laws that were passed shortly after 1070. This is exactly what they want.
There's an immigration debate thread here somewhere to discuss this further.

I did a quick look for an immigration thread, but didn't see one. This one really wasn't being used so I just posted here. We can move if someone wants us to.
I saw a picture of the Governor standing in front of one of the signs, so I don't think that's bs.
I am curious about why you say there are politicians who want laws to harass Mexicans though. The easy answer is to just say, "Screw it, let them stay here illegally." Dealing with illegals is much harder than NOT dealing with them. So how do politicians benefit from a law like this?
Again, I'm very liberal socially and I think there should be a path to citizenship for illegals like they've discussed. They should be able to become citizens and pay taxes just like me. I'm for all of that. I just don't see how AZ has any choice but to take matters into their own hands until the federal government can get control of the border and figure out how to make legal citizens out of those that want to come live here.
