I knew about that bill and the makeup of the anti-bill coalition days ago. I've been browsing links on the current Arizona law since it became controversial, and the older legislation came up in connected links. I found it interesting, considering Napolitano was the governor back then.
I'm well aware of who the players are. The point I was trying to make is that the older bill, and current one, were driven by Republican politicians, who you paint as unredeemably pro-business and, by your lights, should have been cheering the business coalition on.
I will grant you that Arizona Republicans might be more conservative than average, and more likely to have a consistent and principled view of immigration. Maybe the Republicans in, say, New York, might be a different story. Note that Bush, also a Republican, didn't do so hot in this department.
