1. Good thing he doesn't live here in AZ. Prop 200 passed last night.
Racism at it's finest.

Mind you, the headline is VERY deceptive regarding what it really is...

"It also mandates that public employees verify the "immigration status'' of applicants for "public benefits.'' Workers who ignore the law would be subject to four month jail terms."

Jail time for social service workers! :wtf:
Bastards!

7. Yep, including firefighters, paramedics, police, and medical personnel.
I already know people who were ILLEGALLY challenged at the polls, both are Hispanic but US citizens.

I'm hopeful it will get quickly challenged in court, but with the current SCOTUs situation, I'm really worried.

3. Sad news...
I heard that the Hispanic vote was about split between Kerry and Bush. :shrug:

Maybe Democrats need to do more to focus on Hispanics. The Bush administration is atleast seen by some as doing more to advance Hispanics that Democrats have.

8. That's my take on it. Friend of mine is high up in MECHA and thinks

Sad.
