They are concerned about a flood of proposed legislation cracking on undocumented immigrants, about 75 members of the Utah’s Latino community gathered Saturday night to learn what they are against.
The meeting took place at the Centro Mexicano Civico, where a list of bills was seen as a projection screen of a basket of basketball. The list was drawn up in English, but the night in the discussion, it was in Spanish, led by Proyecto Latino de Utah director Tony Yapias, crossed the bills one after another.
Less than a week to the legislative session of 2008, three bills have already been some progress. Despite his doubts, Yapias was also optimistic, reminds the public that “we should be proud to note that Utah was the first State to have a driving privilege card status and education for undocumented students, he said.
The public has talked about how they felt the unintended consequences of several bills, including HB241, lifting the state tuition law.
“We need the legislature, they understand it is difficult for our children receive an education, and this will mean that more gangs and crime,” said a woman.
Passage of HB239, the privilege of driving would carry cards to all undocumented workers, would mean that thousands of undocumented workers in driving without insurance and registration, Yapias predicted. “And all that endangers”.
Yapias use the evening as an opportunity to promote their parents to teach their children to behave responsibly, always calm and respectful, “if ever she no longer by a policeman in a road accident injuries, and do you buy the automobile insurance, if they are part of the 24 per cent of the driving privilege card currently without insurance.
Salt Lake County Assessor Lee Gardner, testified Friday in front of the house of repression and Criminal Justice Committee against HB237 - would it admit that some state or local police officers authority to act as agents of the immigration, said the Centro Civico public, it is trying to legislators to understand that “most people come here to work and take care of their families.”
Passage of HB237, several members of the public said that the inhabitants of the call to police in cases of domestic violence, or whether it fits in a car accident, for fear of deportation.
Immigration and other bills before 2008, the legislature would be to force employers to verify the immigration status of all workers free online with a federal system, and a person would prohibit the use of false documents to establish the legal status to the USA.
