Wisconsin politician argues that Arizona is not a border state during immigration deb

NBC) -- A county supervisor from Milwaukee, Wisconsin is facing criticism over her remarks on Arizona's new immigration law.

County Supervisor Peggy West apparently got a little confused about where Arizona was on the map while pushing a measure to boycott the state.

"If this was Texas, which is a state that is directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this saying that they had a major issue with undocumented people flooding the borders, I would have to look twice at this. But this is a state that is a ways removed from the border," West said.
