A new Rasmussen poll provides the third reason you don’t want to live in Arizona. First, let’s review numbers one and two:
1. John McCain is your United States senator
2. Temperatures over 110 are common
And now, number three:
Fifty-one percent (51%) of Arizona voters say it is more important for Congress to pass immigration reform than health [...]

Last week, 52 percent of Florida voters voted to keep an 80-year-old state constitutional amendment on the books that prevents Asian immigrants from owning property in the state. The provision dates back to the early 19oos, when a significant influx of Asian immigrants — especially on the West Coast — prompted California and eight other [...]

Well shuck my grits! The primary argument of all the wall-building, border-enforcing, round-’em-up-and-ship-’em-home anti-immigration wingnuts is wrong — immigrants, especially those from Mexico, are less likely than your teenager to commit a crime in the United States.

In a breathless e-mail I received Tuesday, Florida Democratic Party Chair Karen Thurman wrote of the previous Sunday night’s Univision Democratic presidential debate (emphasis added):
On Sunday night, Democrats made history at the University of Miami when, for the first time, our presidential candidates directly addressed the issues of the Hispanic community in Spanish.

Poor Adam Putnam. The third highest-ranking Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives has a constituency that is inflamed.
What are the residents of Lakeland and Central Florida so upset about? Is it the grinding violence in the occupation of Iraq? The lack of access to health care, causing middle class families to lose their [...]

You know how both times Bush stole an election, people said they would move to Canada? Apparently it wasn’t an idle threat.
The number of U.S. citizens who moved to Canada last year hit a 30-year high, with a 20 percent increase over the previous year and almost double the number who moved in 2000.
