Jon Kyl Sends Map to Dopey Wisconsin Lawmaker Who Apparently Has No Clue Arizona Borders Mexico

Big ups to Arizona Senator Jon Kyl, who last week sent a map to a member of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors who seems to think Arizona isn't a border state, yet found it within her jurisdiction to bash our new immigration law.
