A news conference by a group that advocates for illegal aliens turned mildly confrontational Monday when opponents attended and alleged that contractors are driving off legal workers by hiring illegal aliens who work cheaply. The intruding group held signs calling such employers criminals.
In another development regarding immigration, a spokesman for Gov. Mike Beebe said late Monday that the state signed an agreement with the federal government regarding immigration laws. The state’s proposal has been pending for months.
Few details were available, but Arkansas State Police spokesman Bill Sadler said it involved only document training and not enforcement of federal immigration laws.
