The law was never about border security or immigration. It was about changing our perceptions and shifting blame for our economic collapse from politicians to illegal immigrants. Politicians like state Sen. Russell Pearce, who sponsored SB 1070, have altered the way people think about those who cross the border illegally. Such people are no longer given the benefit of the doubt for being peaceful or hardworking, but in the eyes of many – including those who once believed differently – they are common (or worse) criminals.
