Opponents Trying to Negate Arizona Immigration Law

Almost anything that aims to fix our border problem is good, despite all objections:



"PHOENIX -- Opponents of Arizona's new immigration law - stymied in their initial court challenges - are taking aim at the law's election mandates, claiming they'll virtually eliminate voter registration drives and place too many obstacles in front of minority voters. "



The questions regarding voter registrations are important ones. Congress needs to address voting procedures in our country. We need to decide which is more important, designing procedures that elliminates most illegitimate votes and some legitimate ones, or opening up voting so that every "legitimate" vote and many illegitmate votes are counted. Is one legitimate vote worth 10 illegitimate votes? I really don't think so. I am not in favor of unverisal suffrage. There is no benefit with allowing everyone with a pulse vote. Voting ought to have some level of "difficulty" associated with it. This will allow only those who take their voting privilege seriously to vote. I know I don't have any answers, but we certainly need to look at these questions.
