Hit the Road, Jack

The temper tantrum over Arizona's adoption of federal law concerning illegal aliens proceeds apace:

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) said its 2.2 million members will not attend any meetings or conventions in Arizona as long as the new immigration law is in place.

I don’t know.  It seems to me that the situation is akin to having your house repeatedly burglarized.  Then when you put up a sign on the outside of your front door which reads “Don’t burgle me, bro.  Ring the doorbell,” the burglars call you 'racist' and say that they’ll never darken (hah!) your door again.

Is there a downside that I’m not seeing?

Gets rid of illegal visitors AND SEIU too? Arizona MUST have done something right!

The only downside I am seeing is that those people will take their activities elsewhere ... and our state has not got such sensible ways so would probably welcome them.

No downside there that I can see. The combined effect is of course lessened due to the high co-membership in the groups "illegal aliens" and "SEIU members."

So it's like the SEIU is doing its very best to help Arizona's new law succeed! What's not to love?

Here's another worthy effort to help out those poor oppressed illegal aliens in Arizona.

Downside?

Ummm no. None at all.
