Controversial Fla. House Immigration Bill Advances
Controversial Fla. House Immigration Bill Advances
April 14, 2011 3:59 PM
TALLAHASSEE (CBS4) — A controversial immigration bill has is advancing in Tallahassee setting the stage for a full House vote.
Following two hours of sometimes tearful testimony and despite united opposition from Florida’ business and agricultural community, the House Economic Affairs Committee on Thursday approved immigration measure (HB 7089) which requires employers to verify the status of new hires and allows police to ask criminal suspects to prove they are in the country legally.
The bill passed on an 11-7 vote along party lines, with Republicans winning the day.
The bill now travels to the House floor.
In the Senate, action on a less restrictive version (SB 2040) that only includes employer verification requirements was postponed until after Easter.
