Stuart's Snyder wants state to consider Arizona-style crackdown on illegal immigration
quote:
An Arizona-style crackdown on illegal immigration is gaining ground in Florida, the state with the third-highest undocumented population.
The state House’s top legislator on criminal justice issues says he wants to see legislation to mirror Arizona’s controversial illegal immigration crackdown. The Arizona law requires police to check the immigration status of people they stop, if they reasonably suspect them to be here illegally...
...Well more than half — 58 percent — of Floridians support the law, according to a poll earlier this month for several media outlets, including the Herald/Times.
In 2009, Florida had an illegal immigrant population of 720,000 — the third largest in the country behind California and Texas, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
