All the hubub about 1070 was just partisan political bickering anyway, it had no lasting impact outside of the immediate political chicanery in the months surrounding its passage.

Mundane? No. No impact? No. It’s easy to have that outlook when you are not targeted. It cost us our reputation, but it also created activism that helped Arizona move toward the center and affect a national election. Yes it was political, the worst kind of politics IMO. It set the stage for anti-immigrant policies of Arpaio and Trump to come.
