Florida attorney general proposes immigration legislation
http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/08/11/florida.immigration.bill/index.html?eref=mrss_igoogle_politics

(CNN) -- Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum -- who is in the midst of an intense Republican primary fight for governor -- has proposed legislation aimed at curbing illegal immigration, according to a statement from his office.

Joined in Orlando, Florida, by legislators and law enforcement officials, McCollum unveiled the proposal Wednesday. It would require law enforcement officers to check suspected illegal immigrants' status in the course of a lawful stop. It would also require Florida businesses to use the E-Verify system to check that applicants are legally authorized to work and would enhance penalties for illegal aliens who commit crimes in Florida.
