Even a casual look at the history of minorities in America shows the need for at least strategic concern if not outright action in the face of discrimination. Yes, America is a daily freak show and we fly off the handle about too much, but against something as egregious as this legislation, action is necessary.
If I ignore your skirmish today, can I really expect you to help me fight my war tomorrow?

I agree with you and your point.
But let us stick to the issue at hand - the AZ bill is about preventing
illegal immigration. Maybe the way they are going about is not the best, but something must be done. Illegal immigrants become a drain on society because they are using government agencies that they don't pay for.
I think that it is wonderful that we live in a country that is willing to provide a decent amount of services to it's
citizens - I have no problem with that. I do have a problem when Maria is at Harris County Hospital having her 6th kid, no insurance, all the while she and her husband are sending their money back to Mexico, and my property taxes keep going up because Maria keeps having kids she can't pay for, but I have to.
