Imagine that legislators from a cash-strapped state pass a law which diverts local police department resources away from violent crime, forcing them to spend important time and energy arresting individuals who left home without their driver’s license. Imagine that the same measures had the practical effect of leaving residents hesitant about contacting police to report crimes and nervous about leaving their homes for fear that a normal grocery trip may end in an arrest, causing local businesses to suffer. Finally, imagine that the law passed greatly increased the likelihood that unprincipled and abusive individuals now have greater leverage with which to exploit their workers, or threaten wives and girlfriends.
Most voters would consider such outcomes to be untenable. Add in the element of “immigration,” however, and the normal rules, and measures of effectiveness — like safety, economic efficiency and protection of civil liberties — are all cast aside, at least in Arizona.
