Utah's Latino leaders keep tabs on immigration proposals

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah's Latino leaders held the first of many meetings Saturday to inform the community about the progress of immigration proposals on Capitol Hill.

Community leader Tony Yapias says the meeting was to let the community know if the bills will affect them in a negative way. If they do, Yapias says, they won't pass without a fight.

"Any of these bills that could have an impact in our community we want to make sure they don't pass," he said. "We're going to do everything in our power to make sure these bills don't pass."

Yapias says he will host more meetings as controversial immigration bills progress through the Legislature.
