"Randy Pullen, chairman of the Yes on Proposition 200 campaign, now says retirement, disability, public housing assistance, post-secondary education, food assistance, unemployment benefits, grants, contracts, loans, drivers licenses and hunting licenses also should be covered [as public benefits]," the Tucson Citizen writes. "Supporters argued the initiative approved Nov. 2 is needed because Arizona, the busiest illegal entry point on the U.S.-Mexico border, spends millions of dollars annually to provide food stamps, welfare and other social services to illegal immigrants."

"Faced with a deluge of illegal crossers and the burden prosecuting them places on the courts, the U.S. Attorney's office [in San Diego] has drawn up new rules that dramatically limit who will be prosecuted and who will merely be sent back to Mexico," Worldnetdaily writes. "Many of the illegal immigrants with criminal histories his office deals with, wrote Peak, had committed their earlier crimes outside of Southern California or had not been arrested in 10 or more years."

"The Department of Motor Vehicles has launched a massive investigation after a Team 8 Investigation uncovered allegations Connecticut DMV employees may be illegally selling Driver's licenses," WTNH reports. "This is not just a story about fraud or DMV employees possibly on the take selling driver's licenses. This is a story with national security implications. Remember, the 9/11 hijackers were able to fraudulently obtain driver's licenses and they couldn't have pulled off their deadly attacks without them."

Vdare.com writer Steve Sailer says that President Bush may not have gotten as high a percentage of the Hispanic vote as claimed. "Unfortunately, we'll be arguing over the Hispanic vote in 2004 for some time because the main exit poll was badly botched," he says. "The exit poll claims Bush's share of Texas Hispanics leapt from 43 percent to a staggering 59 percent. (My recollection is that this Texas figure was originally something like 52 percent, but in the rejiggering, it was inflated to an unlikely 59 percent in the final numbers.) Texas is what's driving this 44 percent national figure." He continues, " If the Texas number is much too high, this suggests his national share of Hispanics was something more like 38 to 41 percent. And that would be in line with the historic pattern—the Hispanic vote tends to rise and fall in the same cycles as the white vote, just much more heavily skewed toward the Democrats."

"This presidential election was notable for not providing any choice to Americans who want immigration laws enforced. But some activists in Arizona pushed through a successful ballot initiative requiring the state to clamp down on illegals – and it could prove to be the first shot in a nationwide grass-roots movement to reclaim American sovereignty and stave off this quiet invasion," says Worldnetdaily editor Joseph Farah.

"Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy is thinking about a pilot project to "deputize" a few Suffolk County police officers to act in the additional role of immigration agents. He insists he won't have police doing massive sweeps, looking for undocumented immigrants. It would only be a few officers, for limited purposes, he says," Newsday writes in an editorial criticizing the move. The New York Times, in a separate editorila, also says the move is unnecessary.
