Lawmakers are considering an anti-illegal immigration proposal and some members of a church community aren't on board.
The proposal is sponsored by Republican Senator Russell Pearce. It would require local and state officials to enforce federal immigration laws, making any sanctuary laws illegal.
Pearce said no public input would be allowed, but when some people stood up to speak against it, one woman quoted a verse in the Bible, "When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him." Pearce asked security to remove them and four Democrats then left the room.
The proposal passed seven to zero.
