Arizona Initiatives Curb Illegals

This past election there were few immigration issues on ballots across the country. One notable exception was in Arizona.

The four initiatives passed by big 3 -1 majorities:

Proposition 100: Bailable Offenses

Prevents those charged with serious felonies from being eligible for bail if they are in the country illegally.

Proposition 102: Standing in Civil Actions

Blocks undocumented immigrants from being able to obtain punitive damages in lawsuits. Limits awards to actual damages.

Proposition 103: English as the Official Language

Requires state government to take all formal action in English. Includes many exemptions, such as for legal proceedings. It won't change bilingual ballots, which are required by federal law.

Proposition 300: Public Program Eligibility

Blocks undocumented immigrants from accessing state- subsidized programs for adult education and child care, among other programs.


We congratulate Arizona citizens for taking the lead in the fight against illegal immigration. More & more cities & towns are taking the issue of illegal immigration into their own hands since the Federal government refuses to do anything substantive other than just talk.
