Immigration Gets Its Day In Legislature

The hot-button issue of illegal immigration continues to flare up in the Ohio legislature. Tuesday, the setting for it was a hearing by a senate committee on a bill that could get LOCAL police and sheriffs helping the FEDS enforce national immigration laws. Several people testified in favor of a crackdown, but there were others who pushed caution. Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen filed this report.
