The question is why there aren't enough Arizonans who care about illegal immigration. Our hardliner District 8 conservative Randy Graf is -14 against the ACLU board member, NRA F-rated, corrupt commie Gabrielle Giffords, at this time. She has convinced the electorate that she is a moderate, and "moderate" plays here.
Lib voters don't understand history or long-term consequences. They want their free stuff and their moderateness and their "caring".
I'm not convinced the average American knows how illegal immigration has an affect on them personally. Start telling them about healthcare costs, etc. and they'll start to care. Seems the only people in AZ who are truly passionate about illegals are the ones who live on the border- and deal with it every day of their lives.
