Reply #12: Arizona is in an uproar about illegal immigration

[Leilani]

& what it is costing the state, thus the taxpayers.

I read last week that Kerry s recent speeches about amnesties upset many in Arizona, & meant he would not carry it.

There is a ballot initiative about limiting benefits for illegals.
I gather that illegal crossings have declined in Texas & Cal, due to tighter border controls, which has moved the majority of people to Arizona. And the state is under pressure, & people are angry.

Maybe an Arizona DUer knows more about this.

Also, McCain endorsing Bush probably boosted Bush/Cheney numbers.
