This week, Michigan Republican Dave Agema announced that he wants to introduce a bill that "says if a cop catches you doing a felony and you have no ID and he suspects you are an illegal, he can check." Also, Agema added, if the person doesn't speak English the cop would probably check too. Agema also wants employers and temp agencies to use E-verify, a federal database that can check the validity of an employee's social security number.

These anti-immigrant bills are merely the latest in a flurry of misguided Agema legislation that scapegoats Michigan's most vulnerable rather than dealing with the state's true concerns.

Policitians like Agema have used questionable facts and falsehoods to demonize immigrants for too long. Let's tell Rep. Dave Agema that Michigan doesn't need his anti-immigrant laws!
