Rich- An additional fact worth mentioning about the Arizona experience: no other state legislator in the country has done more to advance the cause of NR-style attrition-through-enforcement than Russell Pearce. He was (wrongly) seen as a fringe-y figure in the AZ political scene, but now three of his big agenda items (state benefits only to those identifiably legal, English as the official language, tough employer sanctions) have become law, the last via the signature of a Democratic governor. It just shows how much the political ground has shifted.
