Proponents of the new law say they just want to protect the state's interests, but what they have really done is to shoot themselves in the foot. This new law has more to do with scoring political points for Arizona's right wing politicians than enforcing the law, and that is the trend throughout the United States. In my home state of Florida, the far right leaning state legislature passed a ridiculously poorly written education bill that was like the Az immigration law, more about political points than about improving the education system. The Republican Governor Charlie Crist saw it for what it was and vetoed the bill. He's now running for the US Senate as an Independent. Sadly, the right wing in America feeds off fear and loathing and doesn't let the facts get in the way. To quote a favorite author, "so it goes."
