Bills in General Assembly would target illegal immigrants

Although illegal immigration isn't expected to be a front-burner issue during the upcoming General Assembly sessions, several legislators will be pushing significant changes in the law.

They include punishing employees who hire illegal immigrants and creating a group to assess exactly how immigration is affecting the state.
