Assembly Republican Leader George Plescia of San Diego announced Friday the members of a newly-formed task force on illegal immigration.
The all-Republican group will hold town hall meetings across the state in the coming months to determine the costs illegal immigrants impose on local communities and the state, Plescia said in a news release.
It will hear testimony from law enforcement, elected officials, business owners and the public. The information it gathers may be used to write legislation to address the issue, according to the release.
The panel includes Assembly members Shirley Horton, R-Chula Vista; Chuck DeVore, R-Irvine; Audra Strickland, R-Westlake Village; John Benoit, R-Palm Desert; Sam Blakeslee, R-San Luis Obispo; Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar; Doug LaMalfa, R-Richvale; and Roger Niello, R-Fair Oaks.
The schedule of town hall meetings has not been determined, a spokesman for Plescia said.
For what it's worth, which isn't much considering the lack of power Republicans have in this state, our nominal R governator not withstanding. I guess the best that can be said is it can't hurt.
Hey, my rep is in there!
Way to go Sam.
I'm waiting for Arnold to stop waffling on illegal immigration...he's for..he's against...he's for...he's against...
