NASHVILLE, Tenn.

The Tennessee GOP said they're vastly streamlining their approach to tackling illegal immigration issues this legislative session.

On Wednesday, Republican lawmakers are expected to unveil three key proposals assembled by a task force of lawmakers.

They include requiring employers to check immigration status through the Government's E-Verify program; mandating similar checks for organizations who distribute government entitlements; and increasing police authority to check immigration status.

Republicans say the narrowed focus frees up lawmakers to work on other pressing challenges like education and the economy.
