Arizona Inspires 10-State Suicide Pact

Inspired by Arizona's efforts to destroy its own economy and alienate 30% of its own people instituting bone-headed anti-immigrant laws, TPM lists 10 other states "talking about enacting similarly draconian legislation".

Maybe there's a secret master strategy afoot, but right now this looks like an economic and political suicide pact. What else would you call pandering to the shrinking angry white demo while alienating just about every other growing sector of society?

Ironic too that NY and California - the states that contribute most to the economy - strongly oppose these laws. But it'll be down to them to bail out Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, North & South Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah should they follow through on their suicide pact.

Ain't that grand? Think of all those undocumented workers in California and NY working to keep the anti-immigrant states afloat. It's almost a macrocosm of the "send-'em-all-back" microcosm that hypocritically depends on cheap, illegal labor to keep its lawns cut, it's houses clean and its children burped.
