California Hispanics told it is a crime to vote

A letter, written in Spanish, has gone out to some Hispanic citizens of California, telling them that it is a crime for immigrants to vote, and that voting could cause them to be jailed or deported.

Wow. Talk about history repeating itself. It surely hasn't been that long since African Americans were blocked from voting by intimidation, threats, and even deaths. When I think of the United States, I am no longer thinking of the home of the brave and home of the free, but I'm thinking of the barbaric behavior that our leaders have stooped to and how we, for the most part, let them. It frightens me that we are really no more enlightened today than we were even a hundred years back. My friend who is gay is hiding her gayness. She said that she is afraid of what will happen to her. She said that she already hears the jokes and comments that people at the university make about homosexuals and she and her wife are in the closet. I am sad for her, but I understand her need to protect her life both professional and physically. If things in this country don't change and change soon, we are really screwed.

African Americans received similar letters in Florida in 2000 and in Ohio in 2004.
