Toledo city council may take up illegal immigration issue

It looks like Toledo city council may once again take up the issue of illegal immigration. Two weeks ago, the mayor broke a tie and voted against a council resolution condemning Arizona's new law.
One councilmember who voted against the resolution last time has created a new resolution he thinks is more relevant. Despite budget issues and unemployment, Toledo city council will once again tackle illegal immigration.
Councilman Mike Collins voted against the original resolution because he felt it needed to be more relevant to Ohio. So he's proposing a new measure for consideration. He says, "It touches on the events that took place in Arizona, but the focus goes directly toward Columbus."
Collins resolution differs from the last one in that it calls for sanctions against "perpetrators of human trafficking" and asks Ohio's governor and general assembly to reject measures similar to Arizona's law. "He sent it to me and I looked at it and I said a lot of this stuff looks pretty good."
