Running scared? Undocumented workers begin to flee AZ, businesses sufferOne Arizona politician has made a vow to make illegal immigrants powerless -- literally.

Republican Barry Wong, a candidate for the Arizona Corporation Commission, an elected body that decides public utility issues, says he would require the utilities to check the immigration status of customers, he told the Arizona Republic.

"I'm sure there will be criticism about human-rights violations," said Wong, who held a temporary spot on the five-person Commission in 2006. "Is power or natural gas or any type of utility we regulate, is that a right that people have? It is not a right. It is a service."

I doubt it will happen, but I like the concept.

No, it won't happen because the Moonbat Manifesto says, in part:

"Government shall not impede on the rights of undocumented workers to occupy a dwelling paid for not by themselves but by the taxpayer, neither shall the government or any representative of the government impede undocumented workers from their right to consume resources such as medical care for anchor babies, all of which to be paid for by the taxpayer.

"It is the quest of government to adhere to the principles of freedom and the quest for such freedom, even if that means the U.S. Constitution is trampled upon, laws ignored, and a continuous stream of offenders invade this country.

"After all, it's the only humane thing to do."

Fabulous idea AZ.  Good luck with that, though.  I don't think it will fly.  Which is unfortunate.
