Regarding immigration, I am all in favor of legal immigration; I am not in favor of illegal immigration; I do feel the immigration laws of the USA need to be reformed, however. Just as the immigration laws made it difficult for eastern Europeans during the time frame of my mother's emigration from Ukraine about 90 years ago and just as immigration laws throughout the history of the USA have made it difficult for other ethnicities (usually by using a quota system), our present immigration laws with the application procedure along with the financial requirement of the accompanying fee make it very difficult for others to make America (the land of the free) their adopted home. ref- http://www.theglitch.ws/roland/?p=3342 As a part-time Arizona resident, aka snowbird, aka winter visitor, I am all too familiar with the “immigration” fervor of Arizonans, who seem to conveniently forget that the area was part of Mexico before it was ceded to the United States as the result of a war that was instigated by the USA.

I'm certainly not arguing for illegal immigrants to vote. You should present an ID to vote. You have to in Ohio.

It is the duty of the U.S. government to secure the borders, however, that may affect a growing number of latino voters. Personally, I have concerns on constitutional grounds, but think the law is not terrible. We have images invoked by the do nothing federal government of Arizona gestapo agents forcing evryone to show their papers. The fact is we are routinely asked for ID that is state issued. Has anyone been pulled over lately (more likely since the weather is getting nice and worthless officers can get out of the car again, but I digress). Almost the only interaction with government that doesn't require a picture ID is voting. Ask Bob Dornan why he's not a congressmen. It's because 4,000 illegals voted in an election decided by 1,000 votes. To me I think the national guard should be on the border and if some people are shot invading our country, so be it. Further, institute real fines on businesses that are intentionally hiring illegals. P.S. immigration, start at the mexican restaurants. This is a tremendous problem that is too politically sensitive for the feds to handle so good for Arizona for taking the initiative. It is sad that Arizona even needs to consider a law like this.
