Do Not Get Too Tan and Come to Arizona
I live in Arizona, the anti-immigration capital of the United States. I am worried about getting too good of a suntan for fear of being asked for my proof of citizenship. And, knowing how the wheels of our state government turn, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that through enough quirky mishaps, I could end up being deported. Luckily, I do speak enough Spanish to get by. And no, I am not Hispanic.
Talk about receiving more negative press than any state has a right to, Arizona has seemingly gone out of its way to do as much as humanly possible to drive tourists away in droves. It’s too bad that tourism is the biggest mainstay of its economy. But, maybe the prevailing mood is that the bigger a martyr it becomes, the better for state business in the the long run.
You can’t call this a racist or bigoted move. No sir. It’s the last stand for a state who has been completely disenfranchised by the federal government for so many years. We don’t have our billion-dollar fence that was promised. We don’t even have a million National Guardsmen patrolling the borders, so Arizona had no choice. That is, according to them. In a mindset of perpetual fear, action had to be taken. Who can afford a bunch of illegal aliens roaming the streets, using up precious funds for schooling and health care. So what if these folks worked all the unsavory jobs none of the rest of us wanted. It’s still the law, even if it ended up being good for business in the long run.
It’s a matter of principle. Arizona has its Constitutional right to shoot of its nose to despite its face if it wants to, dangit. Arizona has always had the colorful reputation as a tough gun-totin’, shoot-’em up, O.K. Coral, Tombstone Territory kind of place anyway. Might as well revert back to the good ol’ days.
As for the tourism industry, well, just remember what refusing to have a National Holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did for you. This might even be the ultimate gunslinging move. Good luck with that.
