The Salt Lake Tribuen
Utah legislators frustrated by illegal immigration are finished being nice - they're sending a strongly worded letter to the feds.
Armed with a legislative audit estimating the cost of educating undocumented immigrants, members of the Education Interim Committee voted Wednesday to send the audit to Utah's congressional delegation and the U.S. departments of Immigration and Education.
An accompanying letter will request "reimbursement to the state from the federal government of costs resulting from their failed immigration policy."
"I doubt they'll pay it," said Rep. Steve Urquhart, R-St. George, who made the motion to send the letter. "But I think it's important that they hear from the state."
