Arizona Immigration Law //

Katherine is happy with the court decision overturning the Arizona immigration law in that the government has asserted that US citizens do not have to carry government ID.  Another agenda is in play in the failure to enforce the border, namely to push us into having to carry government issued identification. Thanks for the telephone call from Larry.
