Where's Arizona?

Peggy West, a Democrat member of the Milwaukee, WI County Board of Supervisors, is against Arizona's recently enacted Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (SB1070) because the state does not border Mexico as reported by Alexandra Petri for The Washington Post: "If this were Texas a state that borders Mexico I would have to look twice at this, but it's Arizona, a state that is removed from the border."

To be fair, the lady did correct herself.

"I did get a passing grade in Geography in high school and in college and I do obviously know that Arizona is on the border,” West said in an interview after today’s meeting.

West claims that the point she was trying to make is that because Texas has a much larger border with Mexico, she might feel differently about such a law in that state. “Had Texas come out with the legislation, having the largest border, I think that I would be more receptive to the fact that there was a problem. But having it be Arizona, having it be the second largest boarder and knowing there are troops on the border in Arizona, it didn’t seem to me that this legislation was particularly necessary at this moment in time,” West said.
