There are two reasons up until now that I would likely never relocate to Arizona: The first is Arizona's addiction to the same auto-dependent suburban-sprawl model that is destroying the natural beauty and historical heritage of many places. The second is the generally pretty dismal crime statistics for many Arizona locales--especially its metro areas. A major component of those crime statistics is the crime committed by illegal aliens. So, Arizona's passage of its "immigration bill"--if it succeeds in stemming the tide of illegal immigration to the state--is a positive move in my opinion toward solving one of two reasons that I am not inclined to visit or live in Arizona. I suspect that I'm not alone in that opinion. For every out-of-state whiner or group of whiners that says they will boycott Arizona because of this law, there are probably a hundred people who would be more likely to visit or relocate there if the law has some success in reducing Arizona's very less-than-stellar reputation nationally when it comes to crime. Oh, and I happen to know a number of former Arizonans who relocated OUT of the state because of the crime and illegal immigrant issues--including some who are multi-generational Arizona natives.
I suggest you visit in August...and plan plenty of outdoor activities.

Actually, if I did visit Arizona, it would probably be in the month of August, so I could watch the Southwest Monsoon thunderstorms in all their glory.

I think this person was encouraging you to get heat stroke. Nice, huh?

Since you like to lump all White people together, in order to fight this takeover, I need to know exactly which white folks are planning to usurp Arizona from all the people of color--because of course, white is not a color...it's a non-color....colorless...transparent.....
Illegal aliens cost the state more money than any boycott. Most illegals are working for slave wages and can't make ends meet. We are paying for their lack of car insurance and health insurance. We pay for their children's health and welfare. In addition to that we deal with their gangs, drugs and ID theft. As a tax payer, I don't want to financially support people who don't belong in my country.
Guess he just looks at the pictures on an issue. Can you pass the blue crayon please?
