STATEHOUSE UPDATE IV

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

If you were hoping for illegal immigration reform (that would have been found unconstitutional by the courts) forget about it. Unless some mad scientist decides to resurrect this puppy it’s dead. It didn’t die on the floor, but due to a lack of conferee signatures.

All parties in the conference committee have to sign off on the compromise legislation before it can advance to the floor, but two of the members were not there. So unless something happens tonight or tomorrow, you’ll just have to wait until next year for the chance to take another crack at illegal immigration reform (that if you don’t do it right will be found unconstitutional by the courts).
