Si oblitus fuero tui, Ierusalem, oblivioni detur dextera mea. Jerusalem is where it all began. The site of Our Lord's Passion, Death, and Resurrection and Ascension. The site of the Institution of the Most Holy Eucharist, the Mass, in the Upper Room. The site of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost and the birth of the Church. These events that fundamentally and forever changed the course of human history all happened here. Previously, through a long, glorious, and troubled history of a thousand years, the city had been the site of the Jewish cult of worship of the Most High on the Temple Mount. That cult was perfected through the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross and transferred to the Catholic Church with the institution of the Sacrifice of the Mass, and is now performed throughout the world.
The site of the birth of the New and Eternal Covenant viewed from the site of the cult of the Old Covenant. (My photo taken Aug. 3, 2011)
The Church was born in Jerusalem but has never had it easy in the city of its birth. Its first martyrdom, that of Stephen, was suffered in Jerusalem only a few years after Our Lord's Ascension. The first of the Ecumenical Councils was held in Jerusalem to decide whether or not the Mosaic Law was obligatory for Christians. For the first four decades of the Church's existence, as she spread throughout the Mediterranean through the outpouring of the Spirit and the tireless work of the Apostles, she was constantly embroiled in conflict with the Jewish authorities in the city. Then in 66 AD the Jews revolted against their Roman overlords provoking a long and brutal war which culminated in the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman general and future emperor Titus in the year 70.
Following the destruction of the city the church rapidly diminished in both numbers and importance. The primacy of Rome was becoming firmly established following the martyrdom of St. Peter on the Vatican Hill just before the Jewish revolt. Following his defeat of the second Jewish revolt in 135 Jerusalem was rebuilt by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as the pagan settlement Aelia Capitolina. The small number of believers who remained went thoroughly underground at this point. They seemed to have retained a thorough memory of the sites associated Our Lord's Passion, Death, and Resurrection since archaeological evidence has been discovered of foreign and Latin speaking pilgrims who visited the site now occupied by the Church of the Holy Sepulcher between the founding of Aelia Capitolina and the building of the basilica.
After the Edict of Milan brought the Church out from underground in the Roman Empire the Emperor Constantine sent his mother St. Helena to Palestine to discover and commemorate the sites associated with the events of the life of Jesus Christ. Jerusalem would be a Christian city for the next three centuries. Basilicas and monasteries would arise to give memorial to the life of Our Lord and the apostles. Pilgrims flocked to the city from throughout the Empire even after the fall of the Western emperors. Jerusalem was a part of the Pentarchy along with Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, and Alexandria that were the great and most influential Sees of the Church and before the rise of Islam The city was sacked and briefly occupied by the Persians during the early part of the seventh century, but then regained by the Byzantine emperor Heraclius. The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14 celebrates in part the return of the relic of the True Cross, stolen by the Persians, to the city in the year 629.
The return of the Byzantines was to be short-lived however. Within a decade Islam had stormed out of the Arabian desert and Syria, Palestine, Egypt, and Mesopotamia and the Muslims took the city of Jerusalem in 637. The Muslims stayed where the Persians had not, and the flow of Christian pilgrims flowed to a trickle. The conquests of Islam along the eastern and southern shores of the Mediterranean cast a veil between Rome and the holy city and there was little interaction between the two for the next half millennium. The emperors in Constantinople tried during that time, with varying degrees of success, to protect the holy sites and the pilgrim route to Jerusalem. The church once again diminished owing to the slow wearing away of the Faith and the general fall into apostasy of those who had been believers in all of the lands of the Levant now ruled by Muslims.
Then came the launch of the First Crusade in the year 1095. Responding to a plea for help and the defense of Constantinople against the Turks from the Emperor Alexius Comnenus Pope Urban II called on the leaders of western Europe who sent forth a great army of men. Alarmed by the presence of this large (much larger than he had wanted) foreign army within his borders he sent them south away from Constantinople and to the amazement of everyone, except possibly themselves, they conquered first Antioch in 1098 and then Jerusalem in the summer of 1099. The brief Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem was then established which lasted less than a century before it fell to Salah ad-Din in 1187.
Jerusalem then floundered for the next seven centuries, once again cut off from Rome and from Christendom. Local Christians remained but the city's church fell into decay. The Franciscans were granted custody of the holy sites for the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church by virtue of St. Francis of Assisi' positive encounter with the Egyptian Sultan Malik al-Kamil not long after the Muslims reclaimed the city, a custody which endures to this day. The Ottoman Empire conquered Jerusalem during the early 16th century and held it for the next four centuries.
The city had shrunk down to a population of 60,000 by the onset of the First World War. The British Army took Jerusalem on December 8, 1917 and opened a new era in the city's history. Christian pilgrims flocked back to the city for the first time since the Crusades, and new basilicas and monasteries were once again built where the ancient ones had fallen into ruin to commemorate the holy places but the British hold was short lived. The increase in Jewish immigration as a result of the Zionist ideology and the resulting conflict with the local Arabs made the situation untenable for the British after the carnage of the Second World War. They then left Palestine to the warring Jews and Arabs in 1948. The city was then divided into west and east between the new State of Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The Israeli army conquered the eastern half of the city in 1967 and reunited it under Jewish control. The city of Jerusalem, owing to the enthusiasm of the Zionists for their ancient capital, is now more developed and a greater metropolis than it has ever been in its history but its Christian population is rapidly shrinking. The Christian population are mostly Arab Palestinians who are hostile to the Jewish masters of the city and therefore suffer from a want of favor among the local governing authorities and being caught somewhat in the middle of an increasingly fanatical Muslim-Jewish religious conflict.
There are several Patriarchs of Jerusalem at present to serve the diminishing Christian population and protect the holy sites but they find themselves often in conflict with one another due to ancient theological and current political conflicts. The Armenians and the Greek Orthodox have a very strong presence in the holy city due to their historical proximity to the place. The Latin Patriarchate was lost after the failure of the Crusades but reinstated in 1847. The current Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem is Fouad Twal appointed in 2008.
Do not forget Jerusalem. Offer the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary on Wednesday for the See of Jerusalem, for its liberty and its salvation and the restoration of its ancient position as a pillar of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church in communion with the See of Peter in Rome and for the conversion of the Jewish people and the conversion of the Muslim peoples. Pray that the birthplace of the Church will once again become a pillar of the Church.

This month we've been looking at the differences between products labelled as low fat, reduced fat and light compared to their standard versions. In our survey, six in ten Brits said they regularly eat these types of foods, but we've found they often contain similar calorie content to supposedly less-healthy options.
For instance, the difference between a McVitie's Chocolate Digestive and the McVitie's Light Chocolate Digestive is just eight calories – you could burn that off in under a minute of swimming. The light version does contain 30% less fat, but it doesn't contain 30% fewer calories and this is often where the problem lies.
Products labelled with 'lite' or 'low fat' only have to contain 30% less fat than the standard version, yet just one in five people told us they knew this.
Just because something is labelled as 'light', 'lite' or 'reduced fat' don't assume it's actually low in fat. For example, a 'light' cheese can still be high in fat – Cathedral City mature cheddar has 34.9g of fat per 100g, and the 'lighter' version has 21.8g. Although that's 30% less fat, it's still classed as high.
Low-fat foods can become even more mystifying when you compare them to standard products from other companies. For example, a Tesco low-fat yogurt has more calories per pot (130) compared to Activia standard yoghurt (123 calories). The Tesco yogurt also contained more sugar – 20.2g (more than four teaspoons) per pot compared to 16.9g!
Research from Cornell University in the US showed that people who were given products labelled as light and low fat ate up to 50% more than they did with the same standard product. This is called the 'health halo'.
And almost to confirm this, at the weekend a friend told me that his girlfriend had started buying Walkers Baked crisps in place of the standard variety. He confessed that he eats two packets instead of one!
So, while many low-fat and light foods can help in weight loss or maintaining calorie intake, it's clearly not always the case. Instead of immediately reaching for these options, I'd recommend comparing the calorie content of a few versions while you're in the supermarket. And that's something that would be much simpler if we had clear traffic-light labelling on all food products.
Do you buy low-fat and light foods in the hope of being healthier, but then end up eating more of them?
Tesco gives green light to traffic light labels – who's next?
Fat isn't bad for you. It doesn't cause obesity, heart disease, cancer etc. Processed food, junk, artificial sweetener, refined sugar, too many calories are grains are bad for you.
To put that in perspective, remember that fats provide more calories for a given weight than anything else in food.
Carry on if you want to follow the example of the late Dr Atkins.
Avoid the goods labelled as lite or healthy eating like the plague. They are often bland and tastless compared with the traditional goods.The best way to avoid being over weight is to avoid over eating and to stop contiuous snacking. Good luck.
I am not sure what can be done other than providing clear labelling of all food products, as Shefalee suggests. The use of terms such as 'healthy eating' should be either controlled on banned.
I've been wondering about the advantage of 1% milk over semi-skimmed. If you only use about 200ml of milk per day, the difference must surely be minimal. Any suggestions as to the number of calories saved ?
Probably the main benefit of skimmed milk is to cut down on saturated fat intake. I have noticed that people tend to use more skimmed milk in coffee, presumably relying on colour to decide how much to add.
Given the choice I would prefer skimmed milk in tea, semi-skimmed in instant coffee and full-cream milk with muesli, and I enjoy staying with friends that buy all three varieties. I just buy semi-skimmed.
I confess that I've been a victim of the 'health halo' – eating more of a food because it's low fat. But after starting a controlled diet, I soon began to notice how switching to 'light' versions of foods wasn't always as beneficial as I'd believed. I certainly didn't know that a product only had to contain 30% less fat to be considered low-fat. All this label-checking tends to make my shopping trips fairly lengthy!
To be considered 'low-fat' the item has to contain less than 3% fat. But to foods labelled as light, lite and reduced only have to contain 30% less fat than the standard variety.
But the fact is it is confusing.
Traffic lights should help to cut down the time you spend looking at food labels, as at a glance you can see what foods are high (red), medium (amber) and low (green) in sugar, fat, saturated fat and salt. Asda, The Co-op, M&S, Sainsbury's and Waitrose already offer traffic lights and Morrisons, Tesco, Aldi and Lidl have now agreed to add them to their labels in the near future.
You have to read the information and ignore the labels that manufacturers dream up. Not always easy to. I was looking at a barm cake – the nutritional information was per 100g. It did not tell me how much an average barm cake weighed.
If we think a manufacturer is being disingenuous, we just don't buy the product. They only understand profits.
The bottom line here is that food manufacturers are in it for the potential profit. Your health is not their primary concern.
Beat them at their own game and (a) don't buy the stuff (b) cook your own (c) restrict the things you know deep down are bad for you and include them in your diet as occasional treats only.
Low fat, lite etc etc just means low flavour or at best, artificial taste.
You don't need to be a professional dietician to work out how much of any type of food to eat. Eat sensibly and well and in moderation on a normal day, take a bit of some sort of exercise if you can and then once in a while eat something really tasty and nutritionally useless. You'll enjoy it all the more. The one proviso is that this approach does need total personal honesty. That's the tricky bit!
The supermarkets are finally being dragged licking and screaming to the traffic lights, which is probably the only way this attempt at better nutrition will get a fair trial. Politicians are a joke – they are always more than happy to overstuff enquiry committees full of big business representatives. Neither can be trusted where health is concerned. How long did it take to pass laws restricting smoking after Sir Richard Doll clearly showed smoking, not tarmac or car fumes, killed people in 1950?
I agree the message is about eating sensibly and in moderation. Fat does improve some taste – try Chicken Basquaise without the chicken skin and chorizos, and you need fat to absorb the fat soluble vitamins A D E and K, so it's not about extremes but sensible eating. Sad to say it's difficult to believe that we will ever get round the grotesque distorsion of the English language by food manufacturers but hopefully traffic lights are a boundary where they have to stop. Well done Which.
Can't we just have ordinary yoghurt without sweetener and without the probiotic con?
The first poster is correct in that dietary fat is not the problem in rising obesity, but the food industry has seized on the 'low-fat = healthy' message.
The real enemy is the vastly increased quantities of sugar/refined carbs that are being consumed in these times, espec via processed "low fat, healthy" ones, and their effects on insulin levels. Sugar/corn syrup is cheap and so the industry use it wherever possible.
It's 90m long but is very insightful.
For too long we have been mis-lead into believing that low fat is good. I have improved health on these lines: 1. Fat is not fattening. 2. Protein is more satisfying than carbs. 3. Natural, not manufactured foods are better for you. 4.Do not count calories, use a tape-measure rather than scales. 5. Lower your intake of sugar, flour and their products,also keep in check potatoes,rice and pasta. Eat the burger and not the bun and take a little exercise and enjoy life!
May I suggest that you study elementary nutrition?
I did not mean this as a personal criticism, Peter. It is worrying that many believe that fat is not fattening, when it has been known for decades that it is the component of food that provides most calories, by weight.
Of course we should limit the amount of carbohydrate we eat. The best advice is that we should eat a balanced diet (and not too much of it) coupled with plenty of exercise.
Actually wavechange, he is more right than you think and nutritionists are gradually revising old advice. The recent TV programmes fronted by Michael Moseley, who is certainly not a trendy fly-by-night type, showed just that. Fats are nowhere near as dangerous as sugars (all sugars at that) and excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates. It's not mainstream yet but it is being studied seriously by proper scientists.
I am sure that dietary advice will evolve, but eating what is generally regarded as a balanced diet has got to be better than crank diets such as the Atkins diet.
What is clear is that many of us are eating far more than we need to and this coupled with little exercise is the reason for obesity. Many eat far too much sweet food and find it somewhat addictive. It is well known that refined carbohydrates are converted rapidly to sugars but unrefined carbohydrates are also metabolised to produce sugars, with the bonus of providing dietary fibre. Stored fats can also be used to produce sugars, a process known as gluconeogenesis. That's what must happen to lose flab.
This convo has just apparently swallowed my reply which took a while to type! Never mind, I'm off for my roast chicken (with skin!) and all the trimmings. And after following the advice from Mr Moseley I've so far lost a stone and it's continuing. Something's happening somewhere/how and I'm not going hungry either.
Perhaps we should be discussing nutrition on another Conversation. This one is about lower fat versions of products.
Like many I use semi-skimmed milk and low-fat natural yoghurt. These products are widely sold and are a well accepted way of eating food with fewer calories.
I go for semi skimmed and low fat where possible, but some times I can't help wondering if it's more worthwhile to simply buy full fat, e.g, with cheese, and then use less of it. A taste test to see which was the best 'heath value' in terms of, how much needs to be used to get a decent flavor and whether it's worth buying the low fat stuff at all, would be interesting to read!
I dont think it is coincidental that obesity rates have soared as low fat foods have become more popular. I don't think they are filling and made me crave more food.
What I have been doing for the last year or so is only eating "real" food. No food designed in a laboratory with loads of chemicals.
My daily menu is normally 2 boiled eggs, meat salad with olive oil for lunch and fish/ meat with loads of veg for evening meal.
The odd piece of fruit and dark chocolate a couple of times a week.
Makes me laugh when people say it is a fad diet. I have much more energy now I have stopped eating refined carbs and processed food. I even sleep better.
There is a site called Marks Daily Apple who encourage this way of eating, it is basically the Paleo diet, the way man ate for millions of years before refined carbs such as bread/ pasta etc were eaten.
At least when you see "Heston" on a package you know there's no pretence at healthy eating. Waitrose have removed the standard traffic lights system from the new Heston from Waitrose range, presumably due to embarrassment if the lasagne is anything to go by.

BJ, the owner of Greenlion Studio is a creative force. He is a tattoo artist, sketch artist, metalsmith, machine maker… you name it; creativity just oozes out of him.
He was starting to work the art trade show circuit and was looking for a unique piece that would express the "Tim Burton-esque" feel of his art, act as an art portfolio, but also be a tool to sell specific pieces.
Team BOXBOOM thought it was important to create a brochure that was super intriguing while keeping it incredibly simple… and of course this all has to fit into an artist's budget. We kept the graphics very crisp and created a hands-on, interactive shape.
Then we won two Addys for it.

Q: Me who don't/doesn't Now, I'm writing something quite important and confused whether don't can be used instead of doesn't in my sentence. I know that English natives usually treat that me as the third-person-singular pronouns, for example:

*

*It's me who is so generous that's bought you such a gift.

And if we use I in this case (which is also acceptable), then we treat it as the very pronoun I:

*It's I who am feeding your hamster now.

2.2. It's I who usually eat all the pizza.
But can I treat that me as the pronoun I, for example:

*Is it me who don't understand you?!

3.2. It's not me who am mending your roof up there.

A: So just as a native speaker of British English those last two sentences should be:
Is it me who doesn't understand you?!
It's not me who is mending your roof up there.
However to be honest none of the example sentences sound very natural. I'd rephrase them as:
I'm the one who's so generous to buy you such a gift.
I'm feeding your hamster now.
I usually eat all the pizza.
Saying 'It's I who' instead of just 'I' makes it sound like your deliberately being overly dramatic. Although for the full effect you'd want to say 'It is I who'.
I think this is because by using 'It's I who' you're talking about yourself in the third person, albeit using I instead of your name. Bare in mind this is me being a native speaker instead of someone who knows the technical ins and outs of the language, so using 'I' means you may not technically be using the third person but your certainly close.

A: Native American speaker here.
Sorry, these all sound unnatural to my ear.

It's me who is so generous that's bought you such a gift.

American: The construction sounds like the gift receiver has mistakenly thanked the wrong person for the gift, and the speaker is jealous of that attention. Hence,

"It was me that was so generous to buy you this gift!"

Now,

"It's I who am feeding your hamster now."

Again, sounds foreign, and like a case of mistaken identity. If you insist on using "I", I would say:

"It is I. I am feeding your hamster now."

I would never say "It is I who is...", I will always say "I am...".

"It's I who usually eat all the pizza."

Again, never "It is I", unless that is the complete sentence. So for example where that would work,

Commander: "Who is second in charge here?"
Harry: "It is I." (but more likely Harry would say, "I am.", as in "I am second in charge here.")

So, I'd write:

"I usually eat all the pizza."

Now,

But can I treat that me as the pronoun I, for example:

No. It is more like the pronoun "her" or "him".

For "Is it me who don't understand you?!"

I'd write

Is it me that doesn't understand you?!

You cannot write "me who do not", it is "me who does not". And even then, Americans will say "me that".
Which applies to the next one as well.

It's not me who am mending your roof up there.

I would say

It's not me that is mending your roof up there.

A: Okay, so as stated in the comments, "Me" is the first person singular objective pronoun, not third person.   The third person objective pronouns are "Him, Her, It."
"Don't" and "Doesn't" are contractions for "Do Not" and "Does Not".  Does is the third person conjugation of the verb "To Do" and should only follow a Sentance with a third person Subjective which are "He/She/It" in the singular and "They" in the plural.

A team of new recruits traveled south to Scirsdale to clear the surrounding forest of an infestation of twig and vine blights. The blights had consolidated at a deep watering hole near the town due to a drought in the area drying up smaller sources of water the blights had settled around. The team was successful in clearing the blights with minimal injuries. Fireniel's grandmother, Malene, owns the Roxey Inn located in Scirsdale and is very grateful for the team's quick and decisive resolution to the situation.
As a favor to company librarian and trial of initiation, a group of new recruits completed the delicate case of retrieving an inheritance belonging to an old woman in the small town of Everleigh (a quaint river community just a day's journey from headquarters). The inheritance had been left to the woman's granddaughter who needed the funds to buy her way out of an unfortunate engagement. The recruits were able to easily overcome the challenges they encountered, including some Grung, a narcissistic lush, animated shrubs, aggressive ceramics and unfriendly books. Despite the eccentric security measures put in place by the late grandmother (a poet and botanist), the recruits were able to retrieve enough of the inheritance to ensure the young woman could leave the engagement and return to collect the rest when she was ready. She was grateful to the Dearborn Company members for their assistance.
One lonely night a questless group at Dearborn Company was graced with a visit from Estelle VarEmerys. She insisted the group (who cleverly dubbed themselves as The Leftovers) help find her missing daughter and solve the mystery of a dark magic phenomena disrupting her library. The Leftovers discovered a cursed book enchanted by a rotting plagiarism spell. While investigating, they were sucked into the book to fight the dark magic which manifested as a ghoul empire. The Leftovers finally "finished the story" as they slayed the ghoul king and were shot out of the book. The book now tells the tale of their endeavors.

Arizona: Clinton Threat to Sue State over Immigration Law Riles Governor Brewer / Hispanics Flee State in Droves
Clinton comment on immigration law riles Ariz. gov

PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Thursday she's angry over comments by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton that the Obama administration will sue the state over its new immigration law.
In a June 8 media interview in Ecuador that began circulating Thursday in the U.S., Clinton said President Barack Obama thinks the federal government should determine immigration policy and that the Justice Department "will be bringing a lawsuit against the act."
Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler on Thursday declined to say whether the department would sue and that "the department continues to review the law."
The department has been looking at the law for weeks for possible civil rights violations, with an eye toward a possible court challenge.
It's unclear why Clinton made the comment since it's not her area. She couldn't be reached Thursday for comment.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Obama and Clinton have both made it clear that the administration opposes the law.
"I will defer to the Justice Department on the legal steps that are available and where they stand on the review of the law," Crowley said. "The secretary believes that comprehensive immigration reform is a better course of action."
Brewer, a Republican, said in a statement that "this is no way to treat the people of Arizona."
"To learn of this lawsuit through an Ecuadorean interview with the secretary of state is just outrageous," she said. "If our own government intends to sue our state to prevent illegal immigration enforcement, the least it can do is inform us before it informs the citizens of another nation."
Brewer spokesman Paul Senseman said the governor was "outraged" and that Clinton's comments make it appear that the Justice Department has decided to file suit.
"But she's confident that in the end, the state of Arizona, the citizens, will prevail," he said.
On April 23, Brewer signed what is considered the toughest legislation in the nation targeting illegal immigrants. It is set to go into effect July 29 pending multiple legal challenges and the Justice Department's review.
Arizona Hispanics flee state in droves before new immigration law S.B. 1070 takes effect in July
By Meena Hartenstein | NY DAILY NEWS | June 11th 2010
Hasta la vista! Reports are swirling that Hispanics in Arizona are fleeing the state before a controversial new immigration law goes into effect July 29.
The law, which has sparked a heated national debate, requires police officers to conduct routine traffic stops or other checks to ask people about their immigration status if there is "reasonable suspicion" they're in the country illegally.
Though precise numbers are not yet available, early anecdotal reports from local schools, businesses and residents indicate that Hispanics could be leaving in droves to avoid the law's impact, USA Today reported Wednesday.
Superintendent Jeffrey Smith of the Balsz Elementary School District, which is 75% Hispanic, said 70 students were pulled out of school following the law's passage April 23 and that parents said it was the reason they were leaving.
The Arizona Republic reported last month that another Arizona school district, Alhambra, anticipates losing 200 to 300 students because of the law.
Retailers are expecting the hit too. David Castillo, co-founder of the Latin Association of Arizona, told USA Today that local businesses serving the Hispanic community have started to report declining profits, an indicator that illegal immigrants are stockpiling their cash to prepare for a move.
This isn't the first time an Arizona law has prompted a population shift. About 100,000 illegal immigrants moved elsewhere after a law was passed in 2007 that penalized businesses for hiring them, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
A recent Census report also suggests that Hispanics have been leaving Arizona since the recession began – approximately 40,000 relocated in 2008. Those who move typically do not return to Mexico but re-settle in other, friendlier states.
Paul Senseman, a spokesman for Republican Governor Jan Brewer who signed the inflammatory law, said he had heard similar reports of Hispanics planning to flee. "If that means that fewer people are breaking the law, that is absolutely an accomplishment," he told USA Today.
In all likelihood, Arizona will not see "tangible evidence" of any population change until late in the year when the schools are required to report their enrollment numbers, Amy Rezzonico, spokeswoman for the Arizona Department of Education, told Fox News.
David Gutierrez, an immigration history professor at the University of California San Diego, said he is hesitant to predict that the law will have a dramatic impact on the numbers of Arizona Hispanics. "I don't see a historical trend that has been in place for 100 years will be reversed because you've got a few hyper-conservative white legislators trying to turn back the clock, turn back the tides of history," he told the Christian Science Monitor.
That being said, Gutierrez believes a mass exodus would be crippling for the state. "If I were able to conduct an experiment and pay all of Arizona's undocumented workers to not work for two weeks, the economy would come to a screeching, crashing halt instantaneously."
The clash over immigration continues to rage across the country. Today in Chicago, NBC reports, Alderman Danny Solis compared Arizona's law to Hitler's Third Reich. "In the early stages of Nazi Germany, there was a law that identified particular groups of people," Solis said. "This law has identified a particular group of people. This law is evil."
