What???....Is this thrue??...I mean hard to belive that Arizona will pass something like this or even consider DA.

I'd be surprised if Brewer doesn't veto it even if it passes the house full of antis..

Dream act in Arizona? Oxymoron.

I'm not even going to get excited over this. I literally LOL'd when I read the title.
