Effort to Renew Miss. Immigration Enforcement Ends
A Mississippi House chairman on Thursday abandoned his effort to revive tougher immigration enforcement provisions that included requiring local police to report suspected illegal immigrants to federal authorities.
The bill, which was killed earlier this week by a Senate chairman, now appears to be dead this legislative session.
House Judiciary B Committee Chairman Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, said he still wants to enact an immigration enforcement law at some point.
