Colorado's Sham ID Card House Bill #1224 weakened by Republicans

3/15/03

Colorado Senator John Andrews (Republican), who tried to sneak through a open-borders-type amendment to the House Bill 1224 [download PDF version] he sponsored (!) in committee two weeks ago, managed to pull it off during Friday's full Colorado Senate discussion of that bill. That means Colorado police can (and WILL) accept the Mexican ID card in a variety of circumstances. And that means many Colorado governments will use this loophole to reject liability when citizens harmed by ILLEGAL ALIENS rightly try to sue slack bureaucrats by pointing to police/sheriff immunity from forcing illegals to produce LEGAL, VALID identification.

[QUOTE: Andrews did amend the bill to allow use of the cards for identification in some instances - when police make a traffic stop or are investigating crimes, or in the case of pregnant women, or women who have given birth.] --Read Rocky Mountain News article of 3/15/03--

The amended bill will go to a full Senate vote, possibly next week, with the final step to be signed into law by Governor Owens. It is highly unlikely Andrew's Alien Shamnesty Amendment will be revoked prior to that vote. Let us remember Andrew's Alien Amnesty Amendment gives preferences to ILLEGAL ALIENS in Colorado because they alone do not have to identify themselves properly to the police! No justice, no peace. Citizens be Damned.
