First, regarding Joe Arpaio: where to start? His behavior is legendary and well documented. It astounds me that the residents of Maricopa County have not yet voted him out of office.
I am proud of Sheriff Clarence Dupnik. As Andrew Jackson said, "one man with courage is a majority." Someone needed to speak up about how WRONG this law is. It is, simply, WRONG. What is so difficult to understand about that?
That said, the border issues are incredibly complex and troubling. No one in this thread has yet referred to the recent murder of the Cochise County rancher, Rob Krentz, by a suspected drug smuggler. His murder has added fuel to the fire.

Latest news this morning is that the Federal Government is casting an eye at the AZ law, and I say "hurry up."
