Colo. Governor Signs Immigration Bill

Colorado Gov. Bill Owens signed a tough package of immigration laws Monday that could force 1 million people receiving state and federal benefits to prove they are legal U.S. residents.  To handle an expected avalanche of people seeking waivers so they can keep getting government benefits while they line up the documents they need, Owens designated 32 driver’s license bureaus as places to apply and opened an office at the Capitol to process their requests.  A waiver would extend the deadline for producing the required identification until March 1. The law requires government agencies to verify that adults older than 18 are entitled to the benefits.

Other bills included measures passed during a special session this month requiring employers to verify that they do not employ illegal immigrants before they can receive grants from the state Economic Development Commission.  ‘‘This legislation will make a positive difference in the future of Colorado,’’ Owens said.


Under emergency rules adopted Monday, the state will grant temporary waivers to an estimated 4,000 people in nursing homes or people with chronic health problems and accept some other forms of ID.

The federal government has barred the state from imposing stricter limits on food stamps and Medicaid

, Owens said, adding that he believes the state should be allowed to make its own rules for those programs.

The fact that it is generally difficult to pass, much less enforce, such limitations on the diversion of tax money to hostile foreigners, shows that officials and other apologists for subsidy-grabbing immigrants know quite well that such immigration cohorts are on net public subsidy.
Although, perhaps, it is only in America that we have anarcho-libertarians in high places, who snow us with pretenses that illegal aliens are net taxpayers, and don’t enroll there children in public school at many times the rate of the generality.
