Our special 10-part podcast series of top issues facing state legislatures this year continues today with a look at immigration policies. Ann Morse, director of NCSL's Immigration Policy Project, explains in today's podcast why the issue has become such an important one for the states.
States debated and approved a record number of bills on the subject last year, Morse says, while Congress and the administration failed to reach any agreement. She summarizes the key areas state looked at last year and what is expected for 2007.
Tomorrow, we take a look at universal health insurance. If you missed yesterday's podcast on budget pressures, click here. Read our press release for the complete list of top 10 issues for 2007.
