INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A bill aimed at having an Arizona-style crackdown on illegal immigration in Indiana is on its way to the state Senate, but some Republican senators are leery about its impact.
The Senate Appropriations Committee voted 8-5 Thursday to advance the proposal.
Changes made by the committee included requiring police to have probable cause to ask for proof of a person's immigration status. The original bill set a lower legal standard of reasonable suspicion.
Republican Sen. Tom Wyss of Fort Wayne joined all the committee's Democrats in voting against the bill. He said he believed the federal government should deal with immigration matters.
GOP Sen. Ed Charbonneau of Valparaiso voted to advance the bill, but said he worried about the harm such a law would do to the state's image.
