Excerpt
A week before leaving office, Gov. Bill Ritter Jr. announced Tuesday that Colorado would participate in a federal background check program devised to catch illegal immigrants who have committed crimes.
The announcement comes after months of debate in Colorado over the program — known as Secure Communities — which allows local law enforcement officials to check the immigration history of those they arrest in a government database.
Officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency that runs Secure Communities in 35 other states, have said the program plugs holes in a system that allows illegal immigrants with criminal records to escape deportation.

Interesting political progression in your side bar. I was a Democrat for 40 years and changed in 2000. The list to the left and socialism was just too much; besides I was pro-life and had always been out of place at gatherings. It took me awhile to see the light, but it's much warmer and brighter now. If we could get rid of the RINOs, maybe we could clean up Washington. Enough is never enough for Democrats and I finally realized it.
Norma,
I'm OK with your view.
My view is people BEFORE money, big corporations, etc.
Taking care of individual people is worth whatever it takes. I got tired of Republicans putting a price limit on our lives AND trusting big business to be ethical and the solution to everything.
