Coalition Asks House To Drop Immigration Reform

March 26, 2007 09:45 PM EST


Members of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund asked Texas House members to leave immigration reform to the feds Monday.

"We have definite concerns about the pre-emption and constitutional matters and the ability of states to wrongfully enforce federal immigration laws," said Luis Figueroa of MALDEF.

The appeal comes in advance of Wednesday's House committee hearing to address immigration and border security issues.
