The left’s spleen venting on Arizona’s new law regarding illegal immigration makes perfect sense. Arizona, a sovereign state of the union, has for years (decades) left most of the problems associated with a porous border in the hands of the federal government.
Some of those problems included drug trafficking, people trafficking, and other criminal activates. From the violation of property rights all the way up to murder (not to mention the whole illegal part of illegal immigration) this has cost Arizona lives, resources, and business. It’s gotten so bad that Phoenix is reportedly second only to Mexico City internationally for kidnapping and murder.
