SB 1070 has been a costly failureA year later, SB 1070 looks like a big, expensive con. It brought us boycotts, lost business, a sullied reputation, another court battle and a betrayal of Arizona's heritage.
Oh, yes. And it did nothing to make the border safer or reduce illegal immigration.
The national spotlight made Arizona look like a place where extremism is the norm. International media lapped up each outrageous statement from SB 1070 supporters. Comedians ripped a hole in the state's dignity bigger than the Grand Canyon.Comment: For more on the subject, see
