Phoenix vs Helsinki

If you live in Finland, you have a legal right to high-speed broadband internet access at an affordable price. The government in Helsinki believes that, like electricity and water, you just can't live a normal modern life without the internet. In fact, they consider it a right, on line with the freedom of speech. source

If you live in Arizona, forget about the internet, you've got more important things to worry about. Your right to electricity, water, and gas is in question. There's a guy running for office in Phoenix whose platform is that he'll cut off basic utility service to anyone that can't prove they're a U.S. citizen. source
"I'm sure there will be criticism about human-rights violations," Wong said, according to the New York Daily News. "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."
My thoughts on what Arizona should do to humanely thin out the illegals they are so obsessed with: Charter a few planes to Helsinki. Offer free one-way air-transit to Finland. Problem solved. Given the choice between living in a hellishly-hot desert (surrounded by hateful facist nutjobs that callously toy around with cutting off people's basic utilities based on their ethnicity or birthplace), or instead living in a beautiful coastal city with guaranteed broadband, which would you choose? I expect a large percentage of the illegals were actually trying to move closer to Finland anyway, and Arizona just got in the way.
