| Yes, I'm stretching but it's Schultheis so I'm allowed.
If you haven't heard, the Republican Arizona House has passed a bill that would allow the police force (who opposed the bill) to commit racial profiling and arrest citizens who don't have their "papers".
Tancredo and Schultheis are all up in that. Tancredo wants the the Arizona bill to spread like a disease to the Colorado legislature but since Democrats in the majority aren't completely batshit, he thinks they'll have to put it on the ballot. Ho hum.
State Bill has Schultheis:
..."excited" that progress is being made in other states, because that may influence legislation in surrounding states. "I'm really excited about the fact that Arizona passed this new law. I think it's a major step towards trying to institute the rule of law in Arizona - I just wish we could do something like that here," said Schultheis.
He added that if the Legislature doesn't introduce such a measure next year, then he believes the people will take matters into their own hands. "If we try to run something like this next year and it fails, I think there will definitely be an initiative proposed to take care of it," said Schultheis. "The people want this kind of thing. Probably 80 percent of the population wants something done and they're very frustrated with the inaction of this Legislature."
Can't you imagine a paradise where you have to have your papers with you at all times or you run the risk of being deported? Perhaps we can eventually wear an emblem on our coats that signify whether or not we are citizens. Perhaps it could look like this:
