It looks like Florida is following Arizona's lead in immigration reform.

Florida State Senator Michael Bennett has filed a bill similar to SB 1070. It allows police officers to check the residency status of anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant.

It would also punish some legal immigrants who aren't carrying proper identification.

There are believed to be about 800,000 undocumented workers living in Florida.
