I guess it falls to those of us without a large blind spot to mention it has 70 percent of the state's population -- Hispanics too -- supporting it. They're tired of trailer-trash behavior, of banditos ducking back across the border, of property crimes... all that stuff. Redux, whatever his virtues and qualities may be, does not live in Arizona, and has but little knowledge of it.

It certainly does not have 70 percent support among the state's Hispanics...more like 70 percent of Hispanics oppose it.

I also found it ironic that, according to one national poll, it has 2/3 majority support nationwide AND a slighlty larger majority believing it is discriminatory. IMO, a sad commentary when a majority of the population thinks its ok to discriminate (as long as it is discriminating against someone else).

And while I dont live in AZ, I knew that it has a majority white population...despite the assertion by our resident Arizonan to the contrary.
