Mayors condemn AZ immigration lawby Associated Press (June 14th, 2010 @ 11:58am)

OKLAHOMA CITY - The U.S. Conference of Mayors has approved two resolutions condemning Arizona's new immigration law and asking Congress for an overhaul of federal immigration policies.

The resolutions approved Monday were supported by a majority of the estimated 200 mayors attending the conference in Oklahoma City.

Conference spokeswoman Elena Temple-Webb says both resolutions were approved on a voice vote, with some opposition to both measures.

The first resolution opposing the Arizona law was sponsored by Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. It opposes the enactment of similar laws in other states.

A second resolution by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa calls for the repeal of the Arizona law and calls upon Congress to pass comprehensive changes to immigration law.
