Haslam plans broad-based immigration legislation | Chattanooga Times Free Press: "NASHVILLE -- Gov. Bill Haslam said Wednesday he is working with Republican legislative leaders to develop a broad-based bill dealing with illegal immigration.
One piece would be an Arizona-style law allowing state and local police to enforce federal immigration laws.
Another would require the written portion of driver's license exams be given in English unless the person is in the U.S. legally through a work or student visa.
The law would require businesses to use the federal E-Verify program in hiring and make the state ensure illegal immigrants cannot access a number of state services."

And sometimes I simply muse.
