TALLAHASSEE -- A state senator’s comments ignited a fierce rebuke from his colleagues Thursday when he said that voters should be screened for citizenship before legislators draw a congressional district to favor Hispanics.

Sen. Alan Hays, R-Umatilla, rekindled the divisive debate over illegal immigration when he told the Senate committee reviewing a series of congressional redistricting plans that “before we design a district anywhere in the state of Florida for Hispanic voters, we need to ascertain that they are citizens of the United States.

"We all know there are many Hispanic-speaking people in Florida that are not legal,’’ he said. “And I just don’t think it’s right that we try to draw a district that encompasses people that really have no business voting anyhow,â€

In my town, names for jury duty are pulled from voter registrations. Often calls for jury duty are returned with "not a citizen" written across the cards. All I can assume is that illegals like to vote but don't want the responsibilities of citizenship.

Here's what gets me. Even once naturalized they won't assimilate enough to even understand what goes on in a jury trial. I was called to jury duty last month. There were 200+ jurors in the staging area. After 5 days all the prospective Hispanic jurors were dismissed. Most due to a lack of CIVIC KNOWLEGE! They mostly will never assimilate.
