We look at a controversial ballot initiative in Arizona - Prop 200 - that would require all residents of the state to prove they are citizens to receive any public services and to vote. We host a debate with a local Latino community leader and one of the initiatives chief proponents.

Today we are broadcasting from Phoenix, Arizona where immigration and homeland security issues have been the subject of debate this election year. Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge visited Phoenix yesterday to promote a public-private sector partnership, he said, to help expedite trade at the Mexican border. Ridge's visit sparked an exchange between the Bush and Kerry camps in Arizona.
The Kerry campaign and Arizona Democrats criticized Bush and argued the White House has not done enough to deal with the needs of border communities. The Bush campaign and Arizona Republicans countered that Kerry is less in tune with border and homeland security needs in the Southwest.
