Sen. Russell Pearce's illegal-immigration omnibus bill is drawing protests at the Capitol.

Griselda Nevarez of Cronkite News Service reports:

Dozens of demonstrators rallied Monday at the State Capitol against bills that would make it trespassing to be in the country illegally and require local law enforcement to assist in enforcing federal immigration laws.

Members of several organizations carried signs and chanted outside the Executive Tower where Gov. Jan Brewer’s office is located. They delivered hundreds of letters urging her to veto SB 1070 and HB 2632 if they reach her desk.
