Tennessee -- Dewayne Brown says the new wave of immigration has made him feel unwelcome in his own community.
"This is my country. I fought for this country. I hold this country deeply in my heart," said Brown, 40, of Hermitage. "I am not going to let illegal immigrants come in and intimidate us."
His sentiments are held by many in Middle Tennessee — part of a broader national chorus calling out for something to be done about illegal immigration. The National Conference of State Legislatures last week forecast that illegal immigration would be the hottest issue for legislators across the country this year.
