There are 2 (or it might be 3) casinos in the Maricopa County area. One in Scottsdale, one in the Laveen area (where I live) and one in Casa Grande. Now, the one in near Laveen, I've never been too, but literally 2 miles west of my house Indian Reservation land "begins". It is quite sad to drive down Baseline and see the houses. From the street you can see such dilapitated homes and look like a strong wind will knock them over. But then in the distance you see the "nice" homes. It's quite sad because from those images you can tell and determine that the distribution of wealth from the casinos (which are hugely popular here) isn't being done. It's really quite sad.
I haven't read the article yet, but from the sounds of it, it sounds like they want to "have their cake and eat it too". You can't have it both ways. You can't say on one hand "we don't want to be part of the United States" and then still be able to call yourself a US citizen and reap all the benefits of citizenship.
Question, if they actually win their case and are no longer part of the US, which means they aren't US citizens, wouldn't they in all technicalities be considered illegal immigrants?
