News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

House OKs immigration bill

BY HOWARD FISCHER, CAPITOL MEDIA SERVICES

April 5, 2007 - 6:35PM

The state House narrowly approved legislation Thursday to require all who want a state, county or city permit to do business to prove they are in this country legally.

Thursday's move came over the unified objection of every House Democrat. Several insisted the proposal will not cut down on people crossing the border illegally, while others said it places a financial burden on local governments.

But every one of the 31 Republicans on the floor voted for HB 2467, providing the bill the minimum number of votes required for approval. The measure now goes to the Senate.
