And, might I say, way to go!
Colorado lawmakers ended a five-day special session on illegal immigration with a resounding approval of several bills that Democrats call the toughest in the nation and Republicans say don't go far enough.
The legislation sent late Monday to Republican Gov. Bill Owens would force a million people receiving state or federal aid in Colorado to verify their citizenship.
It would deny most non-emergency state benefits to illegal immigrants 18 years old and older — forcing people to prove legal residency when applying for benefits or renewing their eligibility. The state Senate passed it 22-13 and the House voted 48-15 in favor. Both chambers are controlled by Democrats.
With all due respect to the Colorado legislative Republicans, it is a start, which is more then the Federal ones are doing. It is high time to stop providing services to illegals, including kids. Is that mean? Perhaps, but perhaps the parents will reconsider entering the U.S.A and putting their children in harms way. It is their responsibility, not ours.
How long till the ACLU files a lawsuit over this?
