Another idiot. This one can't read maps.
- [Milwaukee (WI) County Supervisor Peggy West] appeared confused about Arizona's location during debate about a measure that would have had the county boycott the state over its controversial new immigration law.
She said, "If this was Texas, which is a state that is directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this saying that they had a major issue with undocumented people flooding their borders, I would have to look twice at this. But this is a state that is a ways removed from the border."
In response:
- Arizona Senator Jon Kyl has confirmed, Arizona is, in fact, on the border with Mexico.
Kyl sent ...West a letter in which he says, "You will be interested to learn that Arizona does indeed share a border with Mexico. I have enclosed a map for your convenience."
Kyl goes on to urge West to, "actually read the Arizona law before forming an opinion about it."
