2007 Retrospective: The Local War on the Undocumented - Phoenix, Arizona

It’s just crazy here.” This is what I tell people who are not from Phoenix, Arizona, the political climate surrounding immigration is like. It’s hard to sum up, but having kept up fairly well with local immigration news for the past couple years, I can reflect on 2007 and the direction that things have gone. We have seen ever-increasing repression against undocumented immigrants. In some ways we saw this coming. In other ways, we have been surprised. Overall, things changed gradually enough that it wouldn’t necessarily be perceived as an onslaught, though putting it into perspective by looking back at 2007 as a whole might make it hard to be seen otherwise. “*
