Haridopolos Says Immigration Bill Will Be Heard by Senate Tuesday

Long-awaited action on the Senate's immigration bill will wait for another day.

Slogging through Monday's agenda, Senate President Mike Haridopolos said Senate Bill 2040 will be heard Tuesday.

"We want to make sure everyone knows what they're voting on," Haridopolos said of the heavily amended measure that started out as a straight E-Verify bill. Under pressure from business groups and migrant-rights organizations, the measure has stalled.

The House, meantime, is holding up its tougher enforcement measure (HB 7089) until the Senate votes.
