CHALLENGE QUESTION:  Most of the media reports on the illegal immigration issue are sympathetic to the illegal immigrants.  Do an internet search and find at least 5 news reports from national media that are sympathethic to (or at least give equal time to) the viewpoint of the citizens of Arizona.  Has the media done their job in explaining clearly why Arizonans want this bill?  Ask a parent to discuss this question with you.

NOTE:  Some people who are opposed to the laws on illegal immigration say they are opposed to the "mass roundup and deportation" of illegals.  This is not in any of these bills.
