States press ahead on immigration reform

Broadcast: Midmorning, 11/13/2007, 9:06 a.m.

Listen to program

Many states are not waiting for immigration reform from Congress and the president, and are forging ahead with their own immigration laws. The result so far is a patchwork -- where some states are stricter than the current federal law, while others are more lenient.

Guests

  • Josh Goodman: Covers immigration issues for Governing magazine.
  • Devona Walker: Reporter for the Daily Oklahoman. She covers immigration issues.
  • Antonio Olivo: Reporter at the Chicago Tribune.
