News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

More states may copy Arizona's proof-of-citizenship voter requirement

WASHINGTON — Concerns over illegal immigration have causes more than a dozen states to consider forcing residents to show proof of citizenship when they register to vote.

Arizona is the only state that requires would-be voters to prove they're citizens, but other states are weighing similar requirements.

Arizona "is going to be the first rather than the last," said Robert Pastor, director of the Center for Democracy and Election Management at American University.

Pastor said whether to require voters to prove citizenship "is an interesting question that Americans never really have asked until recently. The major reason they're asking it now has to do with the fears about immigration."
