That's a far cry from the kind of total cultural/economic/educational embargo faced by South Africa, which a number of us advocate for Israel, and which Patrick and others seem to support for Arizona.

By focusing all of its ire on one state and pretending that a particular law passed by its legislature is somehow exceptional, the immigrant rights movement gives a free pass to too many other parties, like that Obama fellow for whom so many of us voted: http://www.commondreams.org/view/2010/04/30 -- "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað." ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
