(37,648 posts)how the state got to the point where it is. I live in nearby TX. There comes a point where the citizens just get fed up. We're not at that point, but I hear grumblings, and I feel certain grumblings myself. I feel the pain caused by illegals. That is often not discussed, and no one seems to care much about that, except others who have been touched by it.
AZ, though, has to deal with the violence from Mexico..the druggies, the drug cartel, the violent offenders, that cross into their state daily. I imagine that plays a part in the feelings of Arizona citizens.
It doesn't excuse AZ. But it is a beginning of a sort of explanation for how they got to where they are. It's been building for a long time, until finally they decided to do something. They're doing some wrong things. But no one seems to have an answer.
The English thing surprises me, though.
