Just a quick point of correction as I just got back from a long day in Flagstaff helping my sister pack and move and I haven't read the whole thread yet: While its true that AZ is a 'red' state now (though its getting more purple) and has been for everyone on this forums lifetimes, that hasn't always been the case. Before the growth boom of the 40s/50s and the influx of midwesterners Arizona was a Democratic/Progressive state and thats reflected in our state constitution as well as long string of Democratic Representatives.
I'd be interested to see a pole about SB 1070 of only native Arizonans. I have a feeling we (as I am one) would generally be far more tolerant of immigration as we've come to realize how important it is to our state and likely have grown up with Hispanic immigrants, legal and otherwise.
