A proposal to crack down on illegal Immigration in Michigan is sparking debate at the state Capitol.

A coalition campaigned against the proposal Tuesday. Opponents say the bill would create a climate of fear and division.

Opponents and supporters of the bill have different interpretations of what the measure introduced last week would mean if it became law.

Opponents say it would allow police to stop and arrest people solely on the suspicion they may be in the U.S. illegally.

Republican Rep. Dave Agema of Grandville, who introduced the bill, says that is not the case. He says law enforcement officers would work to determine the Immigration status of a person only if a person is stopped on suspicion of a different violation.
