Sounds like the voters aren't as concerned about illegal immigrants as the GOP lawmakers would have us believe.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on Tuesday ordered a special election for November 8 to decide the fate of a high-profile state lawmaker behind Arizona's controversial immigration crackdown.
Brewer ordered the vote to recall Republican Russell Pearce, the state senate's president and chief architect of Senate Bill 1070, after a citizen's group turned in enough valid signatures to force it.
Last week, the state verified that Citizens for a Better Arizona had collected 10,365 signatures to force the election. The group needed 7,756 valid signatures.
The group launched the recall drive because of legislation pushed by the fiery conservative lawmaker, including a wide range of bills designed to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the country and crack down on the rights of those already in the state.
