Welcome to

Opponents of immigration reform legislation are keeping their fingers crossed tonight… as the state legislature nears the end of session without a bill to crack down on illegal aliens.

At the start of the session 60 days ago an immigration reform bill seemed certain, but after weeks of protests from immigrants and their supporters… the immigration looks dead. Maria Rodriquez has spent the last three months organizing opponents of the bill. She’s not ready to celebrate just yet, but says the hundreds of people who begged lawmakers to change their positions have had an impact.

“It’s been a valiant effort from people who have to struggle with so much. The most humble hardworking people who come with callused hands to touch callused hearts,” said Rodriquez.

The victory won’t be solidified until lawmakers adjourn later tonight… but it’s unlikely legislative leaders will bring it up. And while the immigrants are celebrating the Tea Party is upset. Some organizers sent letters to GOP leaders say lawmakers failed to follow through with their promise of immigration reform, and they’ll pay at the polls.
