The utter stupidity (grandstanding) of

Posted: Apr 28, 2010

First, of course, but hardly worth mentioning since everyone already knows it perfectly well, is the fact that the Arizona law does NOTHING other than to mirror the Federal law that is not being enforced. To suggest that Arizonans should do NOTHING about the incredible wave of crime and violence related to illegal immigration is nothing but stupid and requires a breath-taking degree of tolerance for governmental negligence. The FIRST and PRIMARY obligation of government is the safety and protection of its people. Second, cancelling contracts with companies in Arizona will only make Arizona MORE attractive to dissenting state and local governments. Third, trying to negatively impact the hotel/restaurant industries in Arizona will ONLY cost jobs to many of the very illegal immigrants that these "haven" communities purport to support. Fourth, this is still not an "immigrant-majority" electorate. By whatever connections they can make to Arizona's stand on illegal immigration, middle America WILL support the opponents to those who try to take Arizona down. Fifth, the mere increased "availability" of Arizona conference and resort resources (due to the cancellation of existing contracts) will only make them MORE attractive to communities and organizations that support Arizona's position. Sixth, Arizona will retalliate. Recent analyses show that there are MORE contracts with CALIFORNIA companies, etc. from Arizona entities than vice versa. This, of course, will only damage California even further at a time when the stupidities of California still have to be resolved. One has to wonder, really - WHO IS DRIVING THE LIBERAL BUS, AND DO THEY EVEN HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE? ;
