#16  Cause meet effect.
It's always if the effect is the desired one.

#15  Az is now a Red State. :-)

Wrong. Arizona has never been a Blue State either.

Arizona is a contrarianstate. Read up on the history.

#14  Wondering aloud...

How will other states react when one state balances its budget, reduces crime and lowers poverty via the single act of enforcing existing immigration laws? Kind of hard to explain to constituents why it couldn't be done in their home state as well.

#13  Az is now a Red State. :-) Now if we can get a few more to do this before November.

#12  Obviously the plan is working. The 'meme' is obviously working, for people to read that headline without laughing out loud.

#10  "Hispanics Flee Arizona." Really? So legal citizens who happens to have brown hair and the last name Guerrero are running in terror? That sounds damn unlikely.

#9  Not all Illegals are Hispanic either. The AZ law doesn't target any specific ethinc group. It just happens that the vast majority of illegals happen to be Hispanic in AZ.

#7  just to clarify, not all Hispanics are Illegals

It just goes to show how the badly liberals have distorted the definitions of and blurred the lines between:

1) Legitimate immigrants and illegal aliens;
2) Hispanics and illegal aliens;
3) Legitimate immigrants and hispanic immigrants and worldwide immigrants;
4) . . . and so on and so on and so on.

Even lumping several separate categories under the one term "hispanic" tends to push these groups together to form a more powerful political group than if they were separate.

Very Orwellian in terms of messing with the definition of words has an effect on how people think and rationalize.

#6  It seems to be working precisely the way it was intended to.

#5  Good for Arizona.

Bad for California. Utah won't let 'em in, and New Mexico's too poor to offer them any serious benefits.

#4  "Hispanics flee Arizona ahead of immigration law"

So it's already working. Good for Arizona.

Border Patrol now detaining serious felons with outstanding warrants among illegals.

#2  -just to clarify, not all Hispanics are Illegals-

What we are talking about here is the ability of Law Enforcement to enforce laws, keystone of any society at any age and epoch.

#1  Just Hispanics, or all Illegals?
