Texas Ballot Initiatives — Si o No

UPDATE (March 5) — Wow. I can’t believe it. But both ballot referendums listed below passed. Outstanding!

_____

I was looking over the sample ballots for the March 4 Texas primaries, and noticed these two initiatives on the ballot:

In English and, of course, in Spanish.

Initiative 1 reads:

Federal, state, and local officials should be required to enforce U.S. immigration laws in order to secure our borders.

I’ll bet the number of people who check Si on this could be counted on one hand. Same goes for the second initiative:

The Texas Legislature should make it a priority to protect the integrity of our election process by enacting legislation that requires voters to provide valid photo identification in order to cast a ballot in any and all elections conducted in the state of Texas.

I’ll be voting Yes on both initiatives.

I still don’t get it. Why is the ballot in both English and Spanish?

[Editor --- because how else would the illegal immigrants know how to vote for the correct Democratic position? Since only citizens can vote, and there is a legal requirement for naturalized citizens to speak and read English, I can think of no other valid reason to have ballots in English and Spanish.]

Both great ideas but HIGHLY promote the Bush /Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, and Mexico’s President Vincente Fox, SPP initiative(look at SPP.GOV). There isn’t a budget, so local , state, and federal, will have to pay for immigration enforcement from their already over-taxed budgets.
it’s the next step in forming the north american union.
it’s REAL and getting snuck in by these little initiatives. see where the UK is today…being governed by the EU parliment and virtually losing their soverignty

I would like to know the procedure, requirements and legal guidelines for placing an initiative or referendum on ballot in Texas.
