- Arizona bears the brunt of Washington's failure to fully address the issue of immigration. Lawmakers have chosen to posture and demagogue rather than sit down and fix the problem.

So, instead of federal immigration reform, Arizona got SB 1070, a wrong-headed approach that will do nothing to secure the border and will have little effect on illegal immigration nationally. What it will do is subject police officers to frivolous lawsuits, and friends and neighbors who look a certain way to unconstitutional treatment from law enforcement.
