In a not very neighborly criticism of NEW MEXICO, Arizona State Representative John Kavanagh (Republican) said: "If a burglar breaks into your home, do you serve him dinner? That is pretty much what they do there with illegals.”
Fair is fair, so New Mexico's Governor, Democrat Bill Richardson said this about Arizona's new law, which makes it a state crime to be in Arizona without proof of citizenship: “There is a decided positive in encouraging biculturalism and people working and living together instead of inciting tension. The worry I have about Arizona is it is going to spread. It arouses the nativist instinct in people.”
It is not difficult to tell who is more representative of diverse America.
