I see Arizona's effort as a desperate cry for help. We have a serious problem and a frighteningly unserious federal government.
Now the whole effort is geared against Hispanics. Not Canadians, not Israelis, not Europeans. Just Hispanics.

Do you see Canadians, Israelis, or Europeans operating well-armed gangs and staging a massive narco-insurgency that's killed about 20,000 people near our border in recent years? Do you see them engaging in activities that terrorize hundreds of thousands of citizens of southern Arizona and other places? Or flooding over our borders en masse and threatening to overwhelm even the rapidly increasing resources devoted to our burgeoning welfare state?
Although there is a lot of balderdash about the gov't wasting money, I think for the most part we get our money's worth.
