When the Dust Settles

I am following the AZ and LA battle with a close eye.  I still don't understand the standpoint of Los Angeles.  The new Arizona law permits the police department to ask for identification when stopping a vehicle.  Wait...I thought police were suppose to do that now?  Moreover, Why aren't all police asking for documentation from citizens around the country? (whispers) They do this already.

AZ replied to LA saying, "Even if the boycotts result in lost revenue, the odds are that the money lost will be far less than the $2 billion it costs Arizona taxpayers for illegal immigration in education, health care and incarceration."  It doesn't sound like Arizona is worried, and they shouldn't be.  In April of 2009, California was officially BROKE; issuing IOU's to grants, schools, and other government run programs.  HA HA


I really shouldn't laugh at this situation, but it is amazing LA thinks they have ANY leverage over Arizona.  Lets compare the unemployment rates, Arizona is at 9.4 percent and falling, while California is setting records (figuratively speaking) with 13 PERCENT and rising!  I am willing to bet Arizona will hit 7 percent unemployment when California reaches 14 percent.  Any takers?  


America favors SB 1070 (Arizona's Law) with an astounding 73 percentile; 63 percent approve of allowing the police to detain those unable to show documentation.  Is LA delusional?  Are you in favor of SB 1070?  Do think there is a better solution?  Let me know.
