This Week in Arizona Racism II

This is Part II of a potentially never-ending series, apparently. So this week in Arizona, a politician wants to cut off the power to undocumented workers' homes.
"I'm sure there will be criticism about human-rights violations," said Wong, who held a temporary spot on the five-person Commission in 2006. "Is power or natural gas or any type of utility we regulate, is that a right that people have? It is not a right. It is a service."
I guess at this point, being racist and viciously anti-immigrant is just standard political pandering. But you have to admire their creativity.
