bad job on verifying if the persons are legal aliens.
I. As best as you can determine, on what
evidence/sources/research/community does this agency base its
informational statements issued, press releases, reports, etc.?
They base their information on local and national polls. They have
statistics and other sources from books and magazines. They also

answer section.

give links)

the Washington Times; “Prop 200 Now in Arizona” by the Arizona
Republic; and “Vasquez Embarking on Dangerous Path” by Dr. Michael
Sherr.
K. Give at least one citation about this agency from a
newspaper article (preferably an Arizona newspaper). Use a citation
index to research this e.g., Lexis Nexis, available from the
Migration Course Web Page made by the Fletcher Library:
http://library.west.asu.edu/subjects/SOC/soc331.html
Briefly state what the article is about, and provide a quote from
the article that includes the agency’s name and gives a good idea of
this agency’s perspective on im/migration. Note: not a quote from
agency’s own web site!
This article sheds some light on what to do after the Prop 200
passed for those who had unanswered questions.
It is a special report that can be found in The Arizona Republic or
online at
http://www.azcentral.com/specials/special29/articles/1114Prop200QA14.html
“Goddard, for example, did not address the impact of Proposition 200
on voting in Arizona. The initiative would require all Arizonans to
show proof of citizenship to register to vote and to show an ID when
casting a ballot in person. That provision must be cleared by the
U.S. Department of Justice”.
L. Any other issues of interest about the agency?
No, they basically want the common tax payer to pay for Americans
and not illegal’s.
M. Is the agency noticeably pro or con immigration? (You may
need to determine this from “reading around” in its position papers,
press releases, news reports, etc)
They are definitely against immigration.
N. Web site? Give URL
