An excellent Op-Ed piece on the despicable anti-immigrant law recently enacted in AZ.By Linda Greenhouse in the New York Times...
I’m glad I’ve already seen the Grand Canyon.
Because I’m not going back to Arizona as long as it remains a police state, which is what the appalling anti-immigrant bill that Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law last week has turned it into.
So what to do in the meantime? Here’s a modest proposal. Everyone remembers the wartime Danish king who drove through Copenhagen wearing a Star of David in support of his Jewish subjects. It’s an apocryphal story, actually, but an inspiring one. Let the good people of Arizona — and anyone passing through — walk the streets of Tucson and Phoenix wearing buttons that say: I Could Be Illegal.
Arizona is a beautiful state with some severely misguided politicians and lots and lots of police. During the drive from Phoenix to Sedona a few weeks ago I'd never seen so many state troopers on a highway before.
