Complex illegal immigration issue has many faces

Several Utah legislators have bills ready for the legislative session. I attended the November meeting at Dixie State College's Gardner Center that was billed as "A Legislative Forum on Illegal Immigration." I was interested in learning more about the Utah Compact and Utah Sen. Dennis Stowell's Arizona-style bill. Although I was offended by the anti-Pelosi jokes in what should have been a bipartisan gathering to discuss issues and not cast stones at either side, I stuck it out. A "forum," after all, is a venue for public discussion, and all people should feel welcome
