Immigration bill set for House debate

HB70 »The high-profile enforcement-only immigration bill carried by Rep. Stephen Sandstorm gets its first official trial when it comes up debate Wednesday before a House Committee.

Sandstrom’s bill, HB70, has been the subject of local and national scrutiny and the lawmaker has been traveling the state making changes to distance it from Arizona’s enforcement-only law — parts of which were enjoined by a federal judge.

Opposition is already lining up for the hearing before the House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee, which is slated to hear the bill at 4 p.m.
