DENVER – A Republican lawmaker’s Arizona-style immigration bill has been stopped at the border.
The bill’s sponsor said he will kill the bill this morning, before it even has a first hearing.
Rep. Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs, said his Colorado House Bill 1107 had too many problems to continue.
“After many drafts and hours of deliberation and meetings with entities, we had come to some agreement with agencies out there,” Baumgardner said. “(But) we couldn’t seem to get away from some parts of it that could be possibly unconstitutional.”
