NCSL Releases Report on 2007 Enacted State Immigration Legislation
State legislators have introduced roughly two and a half times more immigration-related bills in 2007 than in 2006, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), which notes that in the continued absence of comprehensive federal reform, states have developed a variety of approaches and solutions of their own. NCSL has released a comprehensive online report that provides an overview of introduced legislation and summarizes enacted laws relating to immigrants and refugees by state. The report includes legislative proposals and laws concerned with immigration enforcement as well as all those in which legal and undocumented immigrants, migrants, and refugees are affected.
