COLUMNA de AZTLAN

Arizona lawmakers find out the hard way what happens when you implement hardline immigration policies without taking into consideration the economic consequences...."Whoops, we have no workers"

AZ lawmaker, Pearce, the fat guy who looks like the rooster on the Corn Fleis box, has sponsored legislation (SB1108 AZ) that would, in effect, outlaw student groups that are supposedly race based in AZ state funded schools and universities. Presumably, student groups like MEChA, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan would be the main target.

Pearce, who looks like he might be insulin deprived has been on the Lou Dobbs comedy hour with a smirk from ear to ear gloating about about how difficult he has made it for the poor and low resource people of AZ.

Following Pearce's legislation, Skull and Bones, a Yale (New Haven, Connecticut) based, male only, student sorority, would probably not be affected since it is not "race based." The irony, of course, is that they are well known to be the most racists student group in the U.S. Not allowing Jews, Indigenous peoples, blacks or Asians to join.
