Arizona Burning

The law makes brown skin grounds for suspicion-.

The Arizona measure has enraged Latinos, documented and undocumented alike. Latino groups, together with members of the San Francisco city government and Tucson Democrat Raúl Grijalva, are calling for a boycott of the state, targeting its lucrative tourism and convention sector.

These immigrants work in essential industries and pay taxes, contributing to our economy and society--some analysts estimate that Arizona would lose more than $26 billion if all undocumented people were removed from the state. And yet they are at best officially neglected and at worst scapegoated, their families divided and their communities terrorized.
