Welcome to

The Florida Senate has delayed a vote on a controversial Arizona-style immigration bill after protestors filled capitol hallways for the six consecutive business days. At least one protest has been held for seven weeks in a row. Today, farm workers from the Dade City Farmworkers Self Help group made up the majority of protestors. The immigration bill was listed on the Senate calendar, but late this afternoon, Senators decided to skip over it until tomorrow, prompting activists to ask who is in favor of the legislation.

“Everyday, another police chief, another church, another body comes out against this bill,” immigration activist Subhasm Kateel said. “Everyday another institution comes out against this bill. At this point, we’re sort of looking around saying, well who is for this bill?”

Today, the mayors of Miami and Miami Beach expressed concern about the legislation.  Both say the legislation could hamper international tourism the area depends upon.
