I predicted SB 1070 was going to bite the state in the ass, and I wasn't alone in that prediction. All it takes is a little common sense to understand the relationship between undocumented workers and the economy. But apparently the AZ state legislators who passed SB 1070 and the governor who signed the bill into law were more than willing to put racism over economic well-being.
First, there are the boycotts that have and will continue to result in the loss of millions the state sorely needs.
Second, the prevailing notion that AZ is stuck in the 1830's isn't all that attractive to potential tourists, so our tourism industry is taking a big hit.
Third, as this rather poor quality video from CNN indicates, businesses are now seeing the effects of a worker shortage with so many undocumented workers going elsewhere.
Leave it to racist, subhuman, xenophobic, hater Russel Peace to lay it on the line: he'll reluctantly agree to use the labor and tax money of "those" people, but don't for a minute think he won't make sure they know they're not welcome. I'd like to see him work as a farm laborer for a day and try to survive on that income. Of course, the heat and labor would likely kill him. Oh my, now wouldn't that be a shame.
