Well, we have the extreme opinions from 2 Arizonans here. ;) Born in Tucson, I just don't see the border at all. The only thing that bothers me is the people the unauthorized immigrants have to deal with to get here. Did you know it costs thousands of dollars to go through the citizenship process? The huge influx of people moving here from California has caused more problems in a few years than decades of people moving from Mexico. The California migration has caused housing prices to more than double. BTW, the insurance rates in Boston are much worse than Arizona. I've unwittingly worked with illegals both here and in my short stay in California (Sub-contractors), both from Mexico and the Phillipines. I didn't get shot, robbed or sold drugs. Guess, I'm still trying to say that there are good people, and bad, from every place, speaking every language, and I'm not letting bureaucratic rules and arbitrary lines on a map make judgements for me.
