Arizona Governor Jan Brewer recently gave a brilliant response to negative comments from an opponent of Arizona’s new anti-illegal immigration law.
The owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, Robert Sarver, opposes AZ's new immigration laws. He has been outspoken about it and even had his team wear jerseys with the name “Sol” instead of “Suns” to show support for the illegal Mexican immigrants. Governor Brewer released the following statement in response to Sarver's criticism of the new law:
"What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were sneaking into games without paying? What if they had a good idea who the gate-crashers are, but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs, thus non-paying attendees couldn't be ejected. Furthermore, what if Suns' ownership was expected to provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if, on those days when a gate-crasher became ill or injured, the Suns had to provide free medical care and shelter?"
So far as I know Mr. Sarver hasn’t responded to Governor Brewer’s questions. It would be interesting to hear his answers. I wonder how he’d feel in Governor Brewer’s proposed situation, if people were sneaking into games and draining his budget? Governor Brewer left out one thing. Let's add that in some cases people sneaking into games were killing anyone who caught them and/or tried to stop them. How about it, Mr. Sarver?
