Arizona's Fightin' 7th!

 

The 7th shares 300 miles of border with Mexico, making it a popular crossing point for illegal immigrants, and a popular destination for Lou Dobbs once he gets his stealth bomber license.

 

The 7th also contains the city of Tucson. In the early 1900s, Tucson experienced a population boom when the area's dry climate attracted thousands of tuberculosis sufferers seeking a cure. Today, medical experts agree that while a dry climate is beneficial to your health, they suggest you avoid places where you're surrounded by thousands of people with tuberculosis.
