[r38] SB 345 Third Reading Statement (2/28/2008)

Thursday, February 28, 2008

Start Date: 2/28/2008 All Day
End Date: 2/28/2008

"The language is so watered down that all that is left is a toothless tiger. Roar as it might, it does not alleviate the problems with illegal immigration," said Rep. Buck. "It does not prevent illegal immigrants from receiving state or federal benefits, nor does it prevent illegal immigrants from receiving in-state tuition to our colleges or universities.

"Voting 'No' should be a clear sign that the legislature needs language that has teeth and addresses the growing problems facing Indiana's illegal immigration situation.

"Other than its title, we don't have a bill of substance toward solving illegal immigration."
