A few days ago, Iowa Democratic leaders held a press conference in Des
Moines at the Capitol talking about the need to get tough on illegal
immigration. Don't believe a word they are saying. Democrats in Iowa
had a chance to vote on tough anti-illegal immigration legislation
during the 2006 session and many of them voted against it. Without
Republican leadership the bill wouldn't have passed. What was the
bill? House File 2671. It was considered by the House on 3/16/2006.
What happened to it in the Senate? All I can seem to find is that it
was referred to a committee. Fascinating.
