No not that 1960’s flick starring Doug McClure with all the dinosaurs. but for this post it is about dinosaurs………the dinosaurs are the old white people in Arizona……
First, they did not seem to want to recognize MLK day for whatever reason….I am sure that they had a pure logical reason (in their minds) but it still smacked of racism……Then there came the cowboy law….you know that law that says that residents can carry concealed weapons without nay checks, as long as they were not felons….and now we have their antiquated immigration law, where if you look like an illegal alien (whatever that means) you can be stopped and forced to prove ones citizenship……..
I understand the frustration that states like Arizona have with the federal government, but this new law smells like it violates the constitution on several levels and I am sure that there will be a wealth of challenges to the law…
It is possible that this is just a huge bluff trying to force Washington into coming up with a comprehensive immigration policy……if that is so, then Arizona is using its citizens as pawns in some sick political game…
There are also reports that at least 10 other states are considering the passage of some immigration policy…this would add to the urgency of the situation and possibly make it a priority in Washington, even though the Repub leader says there is NO chance of the House considering any immigration legislation this session….
Arizona is full of old white people that refuse to believe that there are any other races but white….they have the cowboy mentality……..
So where does that leave the citizens of Arizona?….behind the 8 ball!
