The Arizona Republic ran a special 12 page report in Sunday's paper dealing with immigration from Mexico and a potential amnesty. Along with the Republic, a local TV station conducted a poll of Arizonans and found substantial support for tougher border controls. Respondents also were concerned about the high rate of welfare use by illegal aliens. "We're helping illegals to have their kids here, but we should help our own people first," said one woman facing a $70,000 dollar debt for surgery. The woman is a Hispanic "self-employed health care worker," who was denied Medicaid and "resents that such immigrants are provided costly health services for free."
