Don't Leave Home Without It

Why do so many politicians in Southern California insist on extending benefits to illegal immigrants? Do they think there might be future votes there if they can only get the illegal immigrants to be registered to vote? Maybe: Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa wants to issue city combined photo ID/ATM cards to illegal immigrants, ostensibly to help them open bank accounts with the city. Councilman Richard Alarcon has already proposed dual library cards/ATM cards for illegal immigrants. Why? They say that it'll reduce crime if illegal immigrants aren't forced to carry all their cash around. But, um... they're breaking the law just by being here. The city's already refusing to enforce the immigration laws. "Things like the ability to check out a library book, to access health services, to enroll our kids in school, why should this depend on immigration status?," an immigrant leader asks. Maybe it's because everyone else pays for it, and other immigrants have gone through difficult citizenship procedures to earn those privileges. (Los Angeles Times via KTLA/Los Angeles)
