#1 So what if they ask if someone is a citizen before giving them welfare benefits? My husband gets asked that all the time for non-governmental services here in Arizona, and he doesn't bitch about it. (Try getting an apartment, power services, phone, etc without a social security number....)

#2 ..clearing the way for state, county and municipal employees to immediately start reporting to immigration authorities suspected undocumented immigrants seeking public benefits.

The question is, will "immigration authorities" actually act upon these reports? Something's telling me the answer is a big "No".

#3 I am pleasantly surprised this wasn't lawyered to death like Prop 167(?) in CA. However, this won't affect one the biggest budget killers, illegal aliens crossing the border to use emergency hospitals. One step at a time. Put up the Friendship Fence and the Friendship Minefield.

#4 What's this "proof of citizenship" crap? Legal resident non-citizens still have full benefits. This is only about illegally. But the MSM will spin this as anti-immigration bigotry.
