AZ BIRTHRIGHT BILLS FAIL

The five bills in Arizona attacking immigrants went up for vote today (yes on St. Patrick’s day) in Arizona and failed  by a wide margin.  Business groups had sent a stern letter to the Legislature warning of huge economic backlash if the bills were enacted.  Although the proponents are not done (they are considering ballot measures), the fact that so many legislatures voted against it (albeit on economic grounds rather than humanitarian grounds) is welcomed news.
