Senate Bill 6, the anti-immigrant, Arizona copycat bill sponsored by Sen. John Schickel and Sen. Brandon Smith received the second of two hearings Wednesday in the House Local Government Committee. The committee didn't vote on the bill but heard about an hour of testimony that ranged from insightful and educational to irrelevant and offensive.

This past week, about 20 KFTC members and allies came to a House Local Government Committee hearing on Senate Bill 6, an anti-immigrant bill described in an earlier blog entry here.
The bill's sponsor, Senator John Schickle, argued in favor of passing the legislation, which he hoped would be successful in removing all undocumented immigrants from the state.
Other people testifying largely represented local jails, etc. who mostly spoke to the large costs that would be generated by enforcing a law like SB 6.
