    Too bad you can’t read! If you can, you will find that the random complaints about Arizona are NOT what was passed. Even the newspapers had to print a retraction. The only people questioned about their legality in the US are those breaking the law! Do you want illegal law breakers in your state???
    Thank God for freedom of speech and ignorance.
