Campaign

[edit]

This section says: "Supporters also relied for justification on a FAIR study that determined that Arizona taxpayers pay $1.3 billion to cover health, education, and incarceration costs of illegal immigrants. This FAIR study is contradicted directly by the Wells-Fargo Thunderbird School of International Management, an international business graduate school in Phoenix, AZ, which in 2003 published a study called "The Economic Impact of Arizona-Mexico Relationship". The study concludes that immigrants contribute $599 million to Arizona..."

As written, it's not true, because the first part refers to "illegal immigrants" while the second refers to "immigrants." Because the two terms are very much not synonymous, the one doesn't "directly contradict" the other. Did the Thunderbird study actually refer to illegal immigrants? -Kris Schnee 07:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We're covering the campaign in that section. The linked citation goes to a blog summarizing the contents.[1] The term used there is "immigrants". I think this is an ambiguity we'll just have to live with. Perhaps the main point is simply that the opposing sides commission or publicized reports favoring their viewpoints. What's more important is what issues got the most advertising and discussion. If these were the numbers bandied about in the campaign we might find some news reports, but old ones are evaporating already. ·:·Will Beback ·:· 08:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry folks but this entire article appears to be written by pro-illegal immigration proponents. The POV is obviously skewed simply by the following sentence under "Proponents"

"Despite a huge effort by political leadership on both sides of the aisle to defeat it, the electorate passed Proposition 200 with 56 percent of voters voting in the affirmative"

Both sides tried to defeat it? Yet the proposition passed by a 56 to 44% margin? Please, get real folks.

I believe the margin was signifigantly higher than that but for the time being IMHO, it seems the majority of AZ voters approved the measure. I rest my case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AZ Gila Monster (talkcontribs) 06:34, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

  • Oppose – The year is required to disambiguate. I believe there can be a Prop 100 any year, however I'm not familiar with Arizona propositions, the majority of which are probably not notable. How do these ballot initiatives get their numbers? Submit a {{subst:move-multi}} please. Wbm1058 (talk) 14:00, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To disambiguate from what? --BDD (talk) 18:01, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
