“mmigration policy used to be a federal matter, but a growing number of states, counties and even cities are ready to take matters into their own hands.

Across Tennessee, local lawmakers are trying to make it difficult or impossible for illegal immigrants to make a living.

There are proposals that would make it a felony to employ an illegal immigrant, rent him an apartment, sell him a car or give him a lift across the state line. The number of illegal-immigration bills introduced in the state legislature doubled this year, to more than 40.”
