PHOENIX — Arizona voters overwhelmingly favor even the most controversial provisions within Senate Bill 1070, according to a poll released Wednesday Arizona State University’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy.

The electronic poll, conducted by the Morrison Institute and Knowledge Networks, sampled 614 Arizona voters regarding three of the most controversial measures in SB 1070:

• Requiring people to produce documents verifying legal status.

• Allowing police to detain those unable to produce verification of legal status.

Title: Polls

I generally don’t place much faith in polls, but I see many states outside of
Arizona going along with this particlar issue. We had better wake up and
realize that there are problems with the Drug Cartels moving into Arizona
with other ILLEGALS.

Title: Makes sense

I think most people would be in favor of a national counterfeit proof ID
card. Not only for proof of citizenship but also to thwart identity theft,
which is becoming a major concern.

Title: Maybe not.

a. The U.S. already has a relatively “counterfeit proof” national ID. Before
the tightening of requirements for travel to Canada, Mexico, and the
Caribbean, fewer than 20% of citizens opted to get a passport. The “market
penetration” is still under 30%.

b. Pretty much the same group of legislators who passed SB1070 also passed
legislation keeping AZ out of REALID, claiming it’s “too expensive” to have
secure ID cards.
