It does seem to me that the nation itself is waiting for the
immigration reform that should naturally be coming from the grid-
locked congress/senate. I hope Arizona forces us to act in unity.
Its fine to revert to "don't ask, don't tell" but it's dishonest.
Clearly the endgame will have to be amnesty plus a work visa plus a
means towards citizenship if desired.
Unfortunately, the republicans have found a negative game strategy
that guarantees at worst a stalemate, and at best, a win in the next
election.

It's not Arizona. Arizona was simply the first state to have the

Arizona law. We should boycott the entire country--except perhaps
enclaves like Sante Fe (?) and Los Angeles (where I live). Do you
know what the statistics are with respect to how people in Sante Fe
feel about the new law?
Those statistics were before major league baseball started
organizing to move the all-star game out of Arizona.
Arizona was also the only state that had the guts to dis Martin
Luther King Jr's birthday as a holiday. Until the NFL moved the
Super Bowl to Pasadena from Phoenix.
I also believe it's been demonstrated that you can get "more than
50% of Americans to apparently approve" anything if you phrase the
question right.
