SB 1070 Costs

[dbacks fan]

Just want to thank the people of the US that are in favor of SB 1070 that have donated just under $1.2 million to the SB 1070 Defense Fund. It seems that there is a large population of people that agree with what the state is trying to do, and the fact that people of the US are supporting this with donations speaks volumes.

I'm trying to remember when the citizens of the US, have started to come together on a cause that was not related to a natural/weather disaster, 9-11, or war where there has been this kind of support. From most of the polls, (yes they are skewed to give the desired results) when was there an outpouring of support for a state initiative like this?
