THIS.
Exactly. Might I add the observation that some of the worst crimes in history have been committed by legal residents or those who were in the country legally.
Applying a band-aid to an amputation is not effective. And what we have in AZ is yet another band-aid solution to a problem that's been well covered by publications as diverse as High Country News and the New Yorker.
