Boycotting the Grand Canyon to protest S1070

Guest Opinion//May 7, 2010

I am 59 years old, and one of my remaining goals in life is to visit the Grand Canyon.

But, I ask myself, what does an illegal immigrant look like?

I fear that it might be a person in a t-shirt, jeans, sneakers, driving a 4-year-old car with maps, a cooler and knapsack of clothes. Because of the new unconstitutional and anti-American law allowing you to stop and demand citizenship papers, I will be boycotting your state.

I hope you will immediately cancel this law and let me achieve this item on my “to-do-before-I-die” list.
