In another case of people taking things into their own hands instead of the government properly handling things, a list of 1300 of supposedly illegal immigrants is making the rounds in Utah.
From Fox News: "A list containing the names and personal information of 1,300 people an anonymous group contends are illegal immigrants has been mailed around Utah, terrifying the state's Hispanic community.
Republican Gov. Gary Herbert wrote in a tweet Tuesday that he has asked state agencies to investigate the list -- sent anonymously to several media outlets, and law enforcement and state agencies. A letter accompanying the list demands that those on it be deported immediately.
Most of the names on the list are of Hispanic origin. The list also contains highly detailed personal information such as Social Security numbers, birth dates, workplaces, addresses and phone numbers. Names of children are included, along with due dates of pregnant women on the list."

I have a couple of views on this: If the government was properly doing it's job and not talking about amnesty for illegals, this list may not have come out.
If you are here illegally, this is a risk you take when you do something illegal. This list is nothing more than what Crime Stoppers or tips to police do.
But on the other hand, the people who complied the list probably have too much time on their hands and do hope they didn't do anything illegal, like looking at medical records or other private records. And if someone on the list is here legally and they can prove it, then they should sue the organization that put out the information.
My guess, there will be about 1300 fewer residents in Utah by the end of the month and that there will be more lists coming out all over the country. Just a hunch.
