Giffords hears how illegal immigration affects local agencies

The Tucson Citizen

Federal immigration measures may come back piecemeal but that's not likely until fall, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., said Tuesday after a round-table discussion with southern Arizona agencies affected by the issue.

Giffords described the U.S. Senate's failure to approve comprehensive immigration reform as "devastating" to southern Arizona.

Narrower legislation providing for enforcement at the border could be brought up in the fall but the climate is poor for conferring provision legal status on illegal immigrants, she said.
