The proposal comes at a time when the President\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s approval rating has reached a low of 29 percent according to a poll conducted by the Wall Street Journal. Mexican President, Vicente Fox called Bush yesterday to express concerns about the proposed militarization of the border. Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Republican Bill Frist, and Minority leader Harry Reid have agreed on a plan to revive a broad immigration bill that they hope to pass before Memorial Day. Locally in San Bernardino, the immigration debate has heated up over an anti-immigrant measure that will go before the City Council tonight. The measure, sponsored by Joseph Turner, Executive Director of the anti-immigrant group Save Our State, would prohibit landlords from renting to undocumented immigrants. It would also, among other things, ban tax payer funded day labor centers, and mandate that day laborers prove legal residency in order to work. Opponents of the measure call it divisive and racist and vow to mobilize against it.<\/p>\n
The San Bernadino City Council meeting will be on Monday May 15th at 3 pm at 300 N. D street. There will also be a press conference by National Alliance for Human Rights at 2:30 pm. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
