Another group, this time a city, asking that immigrants be treated with dignity and respect. DP
Chron.com: EL PASO — The El Paso County Commissioners Court passed a resolution today calling for federal immigration reform that would allow a path to legalization for illegal immigrants.
The resolution was drafted by El Paso County Attorney Jose R. Rodriguez. The four-page document calls for federal immigration reform that does not "violate the human rights of immigrants, documented or undocumented."
The nonbinding resolution, approved by a 4-to-1 vote, included a clause aimed at ensuring that state resources not be used "to support policies and initiatives that tolerate or result in racial profiling." It also called for local law enforcement to "treat all immigrants with dignity and respect."

So.... this story says that if someone breaks our laws, than we just shrug our shoulders and tell them that they did good?
My question, since this story is from El Paso, is as follows:
What is the current procedure for the registration of voters, and verification of citizenship status of the voters in El Paso? As far as most states are concerned, illegal immigrants can register to vote simply by claiming to be citizens, and showing SOME form of identification (including an electric bill). Were these people who made the "resolution" simply elected by the illegal constituency?
