OKLAHOMA CITY - The U.S. Conference of Mayors will vote Monday on a proposal that condemns Arizona's new immigration law and asks Congress for an immigration overhaul that includes a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants now living in the country.

The nonbinding resolution being considered at the group's annual meeting in Oklahoma City notes that the law has inspired a boycott of Arizona and says Congress' inaction on immigration led to the passage of the Arizona law.

The proposal also notes that similar proposals were being considered in other states.

The Arizona law requires police, while enforcing other laws, to question a person's immigration status if officers have a reasonable suspicion that the person is in the country illegally.
