Phoenix Latino leaders are so far giving a free pass to the Protect Arizona Now Initiative.
A lack of cash and unity has failed to counter the immigrant measure.
State Representative Ben Miranda of Phoenix says no one has come forward to challenge it, including unions and the Democratic Party.
Some are waiting to see if the immigrant measure makes the ballot.
Others expect voters to pass it.
Proposition 200, or more commonly known as Protect Arizona Now, would force all Arizonans to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote and show I-D when casting a ballot at the polls.
It would be a crime for state and local government employees to fail to report suspected undocumented immigrants seeking public benefits.
This Arizonan is voting for it!!
So is this Arizonan, his wife, his daughter voting for the first time, and both parents. That's five from my family alone.
PING
It is real easy to stop the illegal invasion of our nation. Put 10-20 million "bouncing betty" anti-personel land mines on the border.
And because the area would be heavily mined, no first aid to be rendered. After a few of them get blown up, they'll get the idea that it isn't worth it to try to sneak across the border.
When you catch some "coyote" bringing through in a vehicle, take them to the desert and tell them to walk back through the minefield.
As soon as the border is mined, close all Mexican consulates in the United States and sever all diplomatic contact with Mexico. End of problem.
Proving citizenship to register to vote?!?
How racist and intolerant!
Good for you! I wish we had your common sense in So California. Here's a very deserving BTTT.
Well, as soon as it passes here copy it and get it passed there. We just fine tuned your prop 187.
Perhaps I should register to keep the state of my birth from sinking into the abyss.
They're probably waiting to see if it passes. If it does, the democrats will be passing this off to their allies in the courts.
If it passes Governess Butch, and AG Terry Goddard will be judge shopping the next morning.
I expect it to pass. Its an ID verification measure and the opposition is in the weird position of saying you shouldn't present verifiable ID before you vote or get a government benefit. Heck, I have to present ID before I can withdraw money from the bank. Its simple common sense.
Let them go ahead. The measure provides for expedited consideration of any challenges to its constitutionally. It does not affect the right to vote or government services. What it does do is require citizens and permanent legal residents to confirm their status in this country. Almost every one has a drivers license and green card or birth/naturalization certificate. Any of these would be acceptable evidence of citizenship or legal resident status.
Amen to that!!
Colonize the good parts, especially the parts with lots of big deer.
I HAVE ONE THING TO SAY.
THE DAY YOU START WORKING HARD FOR THIS COUNTRY, WORKING IN THE FARMS FOR $3.0HR AND DOING ALL THE HARD AND DURTY WORK ILLIGAL MEXICANS HAVE TO DO TO GIVE A BETTER LIFE TO THEIR CHILDREN THAT DAY I WILL HELP YOU SET UP THE MINES MY SELF!

Racists is what a racist says. Just because you claim to be mexican doesnt mean you are not a racist. Come on we all know you hate America, especially white America. Remember that America is red, white a blue - made up people with different ideas - just because Mexican-Americans et.al. voted for prop 200 doesnt make them bad. Sad, sad demoncrat.
