The Durango Herald 01/25/2011 | Immigration bill more like Arizona’s: "Colorado Republicans have imported more of the Arizona immigration law into the Legislature, including parts that a federal judge has already struck down in Arizona.
The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs, said Colorado Republicans tried to learn from Arizona’s experience to craft a bill that can pass the Legislature and stand up in court.
His House Bill 1170 would direct local police to try to determine whether a person entered the country illegally, require immigrants to carry their alien-registration documents and make it a crime for illegal immigrants to work or apply for a job in Colorado."

I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
