Arizona Sends A Message To Illegals In English

The East Valley Tribune reports on Arizona's anti-establishment message :
Four propositions aimed at curbing illegal immigration were headed for a landslide victory on Tuesday, a clear sign that Arizona voters are frustrated with the lack of congressional action on the issue.

The most controversial of the four immigration-related propositions is 300, which will prohibit illegal immigrants from receiving in-state tuition, financial assistance or access to state-subsidized childcare and family literacy programs. It will also require the Board of Education, community colleges, universities and the Department of Economic Security to report any illegal immigrants who try to apply for those programs.

The other three measures will make English the official language of Arizona, deny bail to illegal immigrants accused of felonies and prevent illegal immigrants from collecting punitive damages in court.
You might say illegals aren't popular everywhere.
