You mean cancelled a trip to Arizona, not Illinois, I presume.

And that's a very easy judgement for you to pass, as someone who isn't responsible for the students' safety.
I'm reminded of an incident with Jimmy Carter back in 1980...
You guess is entirely plausible, but I wouldn't be so quick to pass judgement on someone that has to think about the safety of these students. If you were Hispanic I think you'd be concerned about visiting Arizona right now too.
I'd like to see a post on this disturbing trend of calling for the boycott of Arizona business as a response to this law. My father, a Mexican-American businessman whose firmly against the law, would be hurt by this.
For some reason, a large number of ignorant people continue to be intent on connecting the actions of government with the actions of private individuals.
Evan,
Corrected. Thanks.
Interesting that all the fuss is about what Arizona law enforcement might do? Fear that it might be unsafe for who? An unauthorized alien?
Yet, everyone seems to be okay with visiting New York City which has a decade long practice of arbitrarily stopping and frisking individuals based on "reasonable suspicion". Surprisingly, 90% of those stopped and felt up are black and Hispanics. NYC is small compared to Arizona so your risk would be higher that you might end up as one of the more than 575,000 (2009) stopped. But I guess that's okay since the NYPD don't ask about lawful alien status?
Maybe AZ should follow the NYC model and only stop and inquire in poor neighborhoods. Surely that would let the players off the hook?
Highland Park is a very wealthy suburb north of chicago. Just try going to school there without papers/identification proving you are a resident.
