Our depressed economy presents an excellent opportunity to rally anxious Americans into supporting measures that make the lives of illegal immigrants and their families harder.
So believes a group of initiative pushers in California who want to end public benefits for illegal immigrants and cut off welfare for their children. They also want to make the process of applying for a child's birth certificate conducive to providing documentation for the deportation of illegal resident parents.
They hope to build on similar benefits curtailments in Oklahoma, Colorado Virginia, Arizona and Georgia, according to Teresa Watanabe of the Los Angeles Times.
