Dear Arizona, its citizens, its law-makers,
You've made English your official language, and you've denied a larger list of governmental benefits to illegal immigrants (so, good luck, my Mexican friends, if you are a victim of a hate crime in the area). You've discriminated against youths seeking higher education. You've voted against the rights, health and well-being of the people that keep your cities moving. You also did this in the name of finances, eh? Please, next time you push a discriminatory bill, be sure to send out a few notes to inform voters that our federal government spends 3.8 BILLION dollars yearly to control and maintain the Border. It seems that maybe, just maybe there has to be a better way to reallocate this money in such a way that helps to remove racism from our laws, rather than making it governmental policy.
Most sincerely,
Kristen
