This is just part of the Arizona Democratic Party's continuing campaign to get all illegals to the polls on election day. The party has done everything possible to make sure nothing (Voter IDs, driver's licenses, ballots printed in Spanish, etc) stands in the way of getting illegal immigrants to the polls. They did the same sort of shady voter registration/get-out-the-vote drives on the Indian reservations (the same sort of thing happens in SD) and got a Democrat elected governor.
And this reminds me of the big drive conducted by a Nobel Prize winner in 1993 to get every immigration application processed before the election no matter how many rules, procedures, and laws were bent or broken.
Will the perps in AZ be caught and jailed? Don't make me laugh.
