Nice post. As I have written in the past, lawmakers in all states keep a close eye on what other legislatures do and this issue will be no different. All the border states, and even states far from the border with burgeoning Latino and Hispanic populations, have an eye on Arizona now, particularly with regard to court challenges to the Arizona law. The real test — if the law stands for a periods of time — will be its impact. How many illegals will be identified and what will happen to them, and how many businesses using illegals will be cited and punished. The Arizona lawmakers would have been wise, politically, to put a "sunset" on the law, so they could review its effectiveness.
