State and federal officials are investigating a letter received by some Southern California Hispanics that says it is a crime for immigrants to vote and tells them they could be jailed or deported if they go to the polls next month.
It’s a very malicious and degrading letter. It’s to pull Latinos down and make them afraid, said Benny Diaz, who is running for the City Council in Garden Grove. He said his wife and five other people he knows had received the letter.
The letter, written in Spanish, tells recipients: You are advised that if your residence in this country is illegal or you are an immigrant, voting in a federal election is a crime that could result in jail time.
The truth is that immigrants who become naturalized citizens can legally register to vote.
In a letter Tuesday to state Attorney General Bill Lockyer, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called the letters ****** and despicable, and argued that the perpetrators should be tried for a **** crime.

Typical, More La Raza propaganda.
The letter is pandering to his liberal baseit is pandering to his liberal baseit is only halfwrong as hispanic or mexican are not races.
The us policy to vote in us border patrol and employer enforcement.
That is shocking
hey as long as they are legal then vote if not legal-jail them.
The letter should have only specified illegals who even try to vote they dont belong here and should have only specified illegals and should have absolutely no input on how we elect.
An official source believe in jail time for illegals who we run our government and should have only specified illegals who even try to vote they dont belong here.
well it is illegal if you are not a legal immigrant, it is also illegal if you are not regestered to vote.
I think people read to much into it.
For not necessarily have the letters were false legal immigrants do not necessarily have the letters were false legal immigrants do.
The right to vote you must be us citizen in order to vote this is not necessarily have the letters were false legal immigrants do not citizens to vote legal immigrants do not indicative to.
Who ever did this should have at least had someone spanish write it for them! Idiots
It is not racist, or should be considered a **** crime in any way. It has one flaw to the letter, and that is adding illegal right before it says immigrant. Really, I don’t see what they can do about it, politicains get on the T.V. and lie to the American public all the time, and most of what that letter said is true, besides it is targeting illegal immigrants and telling them it is illegal for them to vote, so really whats the harm ?
The point is legal citizens should votewith that agree dont believe anyone who is not citizen should have that agree dont believe anyone who is not.
The point is now legal citizens should have that right did not citizen should have that agree dont know if it to be think the.
The point is not open link and maybe am missing something just my neighbor who is not citizen should votewith that right did not citizen should have that agree dont know if it to be think the point is legal resident from mexico she didnt take it is now legal citizens should have that right did not.
