LITTLE ROCK (AP) - Arkansas members of the House Committee on State Agencies and Governmental Affairs hold a hearing tomorrow at the state Capitol. They are seeking information from state agencies on the impact of illegal immigration on Arkansas. Arkansas' Hispanic population is growing at 1 of the fastest paces in the nation.

State Representative Rick Green says simply doing nothing could leave Arkansas vulnerable.

Oklahoma and Tennessee passed strict laws this year tightening down on illegal immigrants, while the Arkansas Legislature passed a measure aimed only at state contractors.

The hearing tomorrow will include testimony from state officials on illegal immigration's effect on schools, prisons and the work force. Union officials also are scheduled to testify.

I don't know if this is true for sure, but I've heard that Arkansas is one of those wishy-washy states that goes back and forth. Hopefully, this is a sign that they are getting on the right track.

Union officials also are scheduled to testify

... Pro-illegal Alert!!! Pro-illegal Alert!!! Pro-Illegal Alert!!!
