The funny thing about all of this is that it's all recession driven. The immigrant problem is less severe than in recent years. Jan Brewer has had to manufacture statistics to support the cause. Just last week she was spouting off nonsense that the majority of illegal immigrants were drug mules. ICE officials disputed that stat unconditionally. She came back and said, "Well, the drug dealers are trafficking in humans and that's wrong." Good try, Jan. Anyway, there is definitely crime. There is definitely an issue with drug smugglers at the border, but picking up random illegal immigrants trying to find work doesn't address that problem. The way this law was written, we are stopping illegal immigrants from taking the poorly paid, menial jobs in Arizona. If the lawmakers really wanted to stop the drug smugglers, they would have called up the Arizona National Guard and put them along the border. It's just BS that this law is going to fix the problems that they claim it will. The violent drug cartels couldn't care less about SB1070.
