The bill often nicknamed the "Illegal Alien Bill" deals with purposely sheltering or harboring an illegal alien in Arkansas. The bill miraculously cleared the Arkansas House Judiciary Committee yesterday and the passed the House today with a vote of 62-25 and has been sent to the Senate. Please call the Senate Switchboard at 501-682-2902 and leave a message with your Senator (you can leave a message for at least two senators) asking them to vote "FOR" HB2779, the Illegal Alien bill by John Woods. Then email every senator now!
