NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A group of activists is gathering on Capitol Hill to raise awareness about immigration bills moving through the Legislature.

State lawmakers are considering several plans that would make it harder for illegal immigrants to live, work or go to school in Tennessee.

A senate committee is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a plan that would force state and local agencies to make sure that all of their employees are in the country legally.

The Tennessee Immigration and Refugee Rights Coalition says the combined legislation is "misguided" and would put a crushing financial burden on the struggling economy.
