Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce is pushing a package of immigration bills that are even more far-reaching than last year's controversial SB 1070.

Flagstaff, AZ – The Arizona legislature is taking the day off today, after a very busy week at the state capitol.

He told Arizona Public Radio's Daniel Kraker that once again it's the immigration issue that's taking center stage.
