Opinion: Arizona - This is What Apartheid Looks Like

Opinion: Arizona - This is What Apartheid Looks Like: Those who think there’s an immigration crisis in Arizona are correct; however, this is but part of the story. The truth is, a civilizational clash is being played out in the same state in which the state legislature questions the birthplace and legitimacy of President Barack Obama and where Sen. John McCain competes with Senate hopeful J.D. Hayworth to see who is the most anti-immigrant.

It is also the same state that several years ago denied a holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. and that today permits virtually anyone—on the basis of trumped-up fear—to carry concealed weapons anywhere.
