The Latest Arizona Idea to Screw People? Cutting Off Electricity to Illegal Immigrants (even if they pay their bill)
I’ve taken a fair share of emails, and a few phone calls from Arizona residents who call me disingenuous for referring to Arizona as an up-and-coming Nazi state. Some of the phone calls flat out referred to me as a dick.
You can’t read this latest idea to screw illegal immigrants and tell me that I’m wrong. From GOP hopeful Barry Wong:
Barry Wong said he wants to save utility customers from future rate hikes and his plan to do it would shut off the power, and other utilities, to illegal immigrants in the state.
“We shoulder and we all share the costs,” said Wong, who is running for a seat on the Arizona Corporation Commission. “Granted they pay for it, but as we use more electricity overall then utilities will have to eventually build more power plants.”
If illegal immigrants have their utilities turned off, Wong predicts it would keep costs down for everyone else.
“The [state] constitution gives the Corporation Commission specific authority to deal with rate-making which is setting the price that we pay for the electric, natural gas, telephone service, private water companies,” Wong said.
Wong, whose grandparents immigrated to the United State from China, said his plan would start off by having utility companies verify the immigration status of new customers. He would then focus on finding existing customers in the country illegally.
Considering that triple digit temperatures are the norm in Arizona, being without electricity is really nothing more than a legalized way of euthanizing the “undesirables” they don’t want.
Still think I’m being a dick for calling AZ out on the carpet about this?
