ParticipantArizona doesn’t make anything–it’s all service jobs. And if it had any manufacturing, those jobs are held by illegal immigrants!

If google is profitable and wants to spend their own shareholder’s money to do this, sure…But let’s not forget, government is not for profit.[/quote]
I wouldn’t be surprised to see a statement from Google condemning the Arizona immigration law.
The pressure on Arizona will only continue to mount.
And like you said, flu, press coverage of the Arizona law will lead to changes.
I think you need to look back at Arizona history. Arizona has always been a sort of rebellious, in your face, I don’t care what everyone else thinks sort of state.
Second, no way Google is going to get involved. Google, again is for profit… I don’t follow your logic in thinking they would get involved or why you think Google is any more benevolent of a company than anyone else. They’re out there to make money and grow a technology empire, and they only make a big deal about things IF it gets in their way of doing that. Until Google was hacked by folks in China, they didn’t give a hoot about people’s free speech in China, because they (like, Yahoo, Microsoft,etc) are there to make money…Review history again, and you’ll see that Google was totally mum about China until they were hacked…That pissed them off, so they threatened to leave China, only they know as well as everyone else knows, they were bluffing…In fact, there’s plenty of native internet companies there to out do Google (Alibaba/sohu/Baidu)… Same could be said for about Yahoo.
Personally, I give thumbs up to Arizona. Not necessarily because I agree with this law…But because they’re so defiant despite growing controversy and negative media. That’s exactly what CA government needs to be to sort out this financial mess. Take a to be very unpopular stance, and cut programs/spendings/funding/waste in CA governments and institutions/pensions or file for bankruptcy, cancel/renegotiate all their contracts with unions/pensions/etc. After all, just raising taxes so that our government can continue spending more dollars than then they bring in taxes obviously is not working.

ParticipantDoesn’t the Arizona law just ask state officials to enforce federal law? What is wrong with that? Why isn’t there an outcry about the evil federal law rather than the fact that Arizona wants to enforce it? If Arizona doesn’t pass this law, the federal law will still be on the books and everyone will just go back to sleep.
