The Indianapolis Star
INDIANA -- State lawmakers are poised to cast a historic vote today on illegal immigration reform, and all eyes -- from small-town voters to big-time lobbyists -- will be on the Indiana House of Representatives.
"I am very much following this bill. Hopefully, it will pass with some teeth in it," said Phil Stephens, Nineveh, who has written e-mails and letters of support of the legislation.
Immigration reform has never stood as good a chance for passage in Indiana as it does this year.
Supporters say the difference is the legislation's focus on business owners who profit from hiring illegal (Slave) workers rather than a bill depriving individuals of social services.
