Immigration Reform

January 10th, 2011 by flanews

State lawmakers are looking for ways to kick illegal immigrants out of Florida.

State Senators and House members invited the public to Tallahassee this afternoon to discuss solutions. Some estimates show as many as one million illegal immigrants living in Florida. Gaby Pachecl is a legal citizen from Miami. She fears too much reform could lead to racial profiling.

“We have already seen the evidence of racial profiling happening in Florida in very small incenses and we have had the opportunity through the law to protect those people, but now this law is going to give a green light to those cases of racial profiling to occur,” said Pachecl.

The three hour meeting was scheduled just to gather information, but legislation to allow police officer to check immigration status has already been filed.
