    Wk 3 DQ 2 · Resource: http://www.ag.state.az.us/opinions/2004/I04 - 010.pdf · Due Date: Day 4 – Thursday – 07/30 [ Main forum] · Search the Internet for information on Arizona Proposition 200. · Post your response to these questions: Do you think Proposition 200 will affect the U.S. economy if it is widely adopted throughout the country? Why or why not? I think Proposition 200 can be a good thing. If I am reading this right, Proposition 200 requires that only US Citizens can vote, and that only U.S. Citizens and people who are working legally in the U.S. can receive public services. Although I do see where this could cause health concerns due to illegal immigrants not seeking medical services or advice. I would like to believe that only U.S. Citizens are voting and that the people in charge of voting are not allowing non U.S. citizens to vote. As a whole I do not think the economy would suffer overly much if this proposition was adopted throughout the country. If people want to live, work, and vote in the U.S. they should do what it takes to do this legally. Anyone who knows of someone that is in the U.S. illegally should be required to report them and should be punished for not reporting them. Arizona Proposition 200 is to keep illegal immigrants from voting. this proposition mandates that law enforcement notify proper authorities and report illegal immigrants or immigrants that have expired green cards. If this was adopted throughout the United States many more people may be deported. The effects on the economy might be less working for manual labor jobs such as construction and working in fields. This would mean higher priced foods and resources where field workers would be charged true minimum wage. It would also possible cause construction prices to increase since labor prices would increase. Arizona Proposition 200 is a way to prevent illegal immigrants from voting, but is also a way of controlling the illegal immigrants problem within Arizona. With proposition 200 illegal immigrants would no longer be able to get state assistance, vote or obtain a job without the proper papers, registration, and identification. Immigrants and employers a like can be charged with a misdemeanor offense, which in turn could hurt an immigrants chance of becoming a US citizen. In my opinion there are two ways to look at how this could affect the United States if it were to become adopted all over. Firstly, there is the one side that could say that by not allowing illegal immigrants the benefits of state assistance we are lowering national cost. This would mean less tax payers dollars going
