The passage of an Arizona immigration initiative requiring verifiable identification to vote or receive public benefits has spurred similar efforts in other states and created panic among some Hispanics, who are questioning whether it is safe to go to work, shop or send their children to school.
The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) — which successfully derailed Proposition 187 in California in 1994, a measure that also would have blocked illegal aliens from receiving public services — has vowed to fight the new initiative, known as the Arizona Taxpayer and Citizens Protection Act.
