Summary: Discussing two immigration-related measures that failed to make it out of committee in the Colorado House of Representatives, 630 KHOW-AM's Peter Boyles stated to a caller on his February 8 broadcast that the bills were "killed by Democrats, pigs that they are." The legislation would have required that voters present photo identification when voting and proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

On his February 8 630 KHOW-AM broadcast, Peter Boyles stated of two failed immigration-related bills introduced in the Colorado legislature that they were "killed by Democrats, pigs that they are."

The legislation to which Boyles referred -- House Bill 1039 and House Bill 1177 -- would have required that voters present photo identification when voting and proof of citizenship when registering to vote, respectively. Both bills reportedly "died on 7-4 party-line votes" of the House Committee on State, Veterans & Military Affairs.

From the February 8 broadcast of 630 KHOW-AM's The Peter Boyles Show:

CALLER: Certainly, when it comes to, you know, any communication between local law enforcement and ICE [U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement], it's not happenin'.

CALLER: -- to take off when they --

BOYLES: Yeah, I mean, it's -- and then yesterday in the state -- here in Colorado where the bills that would have put stricter identification requirements on people showing up to vote died, killed by Democrats, pigs that they are. And both bills -- one is 1039 and the other one is 1177 -- and all they were for the integrity of voting --

CALLER: Mmm-hmm.

BOYLES: -- with, you know, God only knows how many illegals in this country and trying to throw votes. But --

CALLER: This makes absolutely no --

BOYLES: No.

CALLER: -- no sense whatsoever.
