Matheson questions state-by-state immigration law

Sen. Luz Robles had a private meeting with U.S. Rep. Jim Matheson Thursday at the Capitol to discuss the viability of her immigration reform bill that is heavily dependent on obtaining a federal waiver to function in Utah.
Matheson said he was getting up to speed on the bill, but he recognized the challenges her bill would face.
“I get the frustration,” Matheson said. “I question whether you want to have a checkerboard system of 50 states have different immigration rules across this country. That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.”
