“Worried that the Utah Legislature is poised to approve a bill they fear would make them an easy target for deportation, a group of undocumented residents talked Saturday about showing up en masse at the Capitol later this week ”” but were talked out of it.

Best to let HB105 “go to a quiet death,” said Rep. David Litvak, D-Salt Lake, at a meeting of Latinos. “My fear is that a big demonstration will spur (legislators) to do the opposite. They’ll almost feel like they have to show a certain segment of their constituencies that they’re tough.”"
