I respect people's opinions, but really until you've lived in AZ and are 1) constantly watching news reports about an illegal immigrant committing murder, 2) constantly hearing about illegal immigrant drop houses/drug busts, 3) constantly hearing about an illegal immigrant stealing someones identity (or have had your's stolen by an illegal immigrant), you CANNOT possibly understand WHY legal AZ residents are getting frustrated and looking to the government for solutions.
I truly believe that they made this law to make people PAY ATTENTION to what California, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico are dealing with when it comes to illegal immigration. It should not be these 4 states jobs to be fighting this epidemic (and that is what it is).
Our borders are federal and our federal government should be taking care of them.
This is strictly my opinion. I completely understand that others are going to feel differently. But instead of attacking, think about the people who deal with illegal immigration on a daily basis.
I now live in Fayetteville, NC. I have never heard the Raleigh news once mention illegal immigration. It probably isn't something that they deal with. I'm sure there are illegal immigrants in the state, but probably not to the extent as the 4 border states.

I don't think anyone here is attacking the good people of the state of AZ. I'm sure it's frustrating to live there. However that doesn't make the law automatically OK even if the federal government wasn't enforcing their laws well. Yes there needs to be reform, but at the federal level.
And you should check out the illegal immigration stats for places like Iowa, much higher than you'd think. Slaughterhouses seem particularly prone.
