The Arizonafication of America

This week, perhaps more than ever, the majority sector of the Arizona legislature looks like a veritable madhouse.

This wild gang is of course led by Russell Pearce, the president of the state senate. He has renewed his attack on immigrants with his latest concoction, a 30-page hodge-podge of poison aimed at education at all levels, public services, licenses for drivers and vehicles -- and on and on he goes.

This is the same guy who wants legislators to be able to bring their guns to work.

It is hard to pick the most repulsive part of the never-ending barrage coming out of Phoenix, but I would say it is the attempt to make immigration officers out of hospital workers. That and the attack on birthright citizenship.

The madness of course does not stop with Arizona. Copy this URL from the Southern Poverty Law Center and read how the plague is spreading:
