MYFOXNY.COM - A federal judge put most of Arizona's tough immigration law on hold just hours before it was to take effect. That has fueled the ongoing debate about the United States' immigration policies as well as the Arizona law in particular.

The issue was discussed on Fox 5 News at 10 p.m. on July 28, 2010. The spirited and sometimes heated debate was between Peter Gadiel of the group 9/11 Families for a Secure America and Chung-Wha Hong, the executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition.

Gadiel got involved in immigration issues after he lost his son in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. He favors the Arizona law.

The New York Immigration Coalition is an umbrella organization made up of 200 groups throughout the state that work with immigrant and refugee communities. Hong opposes the Arizona law.
