Immigration bills advance in Tenn. House: "Opponents of a proposal that would allow law enforcement agents in Tennessee to question suspects about their immigration status are concerned it will hurt the state's image.
The measure was one of three immigration bills sponsored by Republican Rep. Joe Carr of Lascassas that passed the House State and Local Government Committee on a voice vote Tuesday.
The other bills would require the state's employers to prove their employees are legally authorized to work in the U.S., and require agencies to verify that applicants for public benefits are legally eligible for them."
The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. 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.
