Reader Participation Day: Has Arizona's Approach To Controlling Illegal Immigrants Led You To Cancel a Grand Canyon Trip?

Are you rethinking that trip to the Grand Canyon or Saguaro National Park due to the approach Arizona officials are taking towards illegal immigration?

Arizona's move to require police to check anyone's U.S. residency status if it might be in doubt is drawing quite a bit of criticism. Already there's some evidence that folks from outside Arizona who oppose the law are canceling trips to the Grand Canyon State.

Are you?

We would love to hear from you, about your trip to any of those Parks, so we can find out if maybe you are the first person to get shot.
Normal people would expect to use caution, since signs have been posted about potential dangers, and I think one is 80 miles inland from the border..
Would seem to me, the intelligent thing would be to not go there, to avoid the risk of getting involved in a situation you can't survive.
Sounds like you are pro Illegal invasion of the USA.


I'd like to continue to visit Arizona as often as possible for the rest of my life. If they need to protect their borders, I hope they use their laws wisely and don't misuse them. I carry a driver's license or other I.D. wherever I am and don't consider it an imposition. I'm a 79 year old Caucasian Grandma and I've been "frisked" at airports, visiting a young man in prison, and attending rock concerts. Not pleasant, but no big deal. Outrage is overrated.
