    FLA. Illegal immigrant could get law license under bill

    Illegal immigrant could get law license under bill

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The Florida Senate approved bill language that could allow the state's Supreme Court to issue law licenses to illegal immigrants.

    The Senate amended a bill Thursday to insert the language. It's a response to a Supreme Court decision last month that said people in the country illegally can't be issued law licenses.


    The case involved Jose Godinez-Samperio, who was seeking his license after passing the bar in 2011. Godinez-Samperio came to the United States with his parents on a tourist visa when he was 9, and they remained in the country after it expired.


    The court said Godinez-Samperio is an excellent candidate to become a lawyer, but the immigration status made him unqualified. It suggested the Legislature could pass a law to allow someone in his position to get a license.
