A Republican state senator says he won't vote for a proposed ballot measure to make illegal immigration a state crime without several changes.

Bennett said he doesn’t want HCR 2060 to be applied to Dreamers with DACA status – even if the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is canceled. Bennett also said he has concerns about enforcement against children and families. "To give state, county and local law enforcement the tools to arrest and detain people who are entering illegally – the farther away you get from the border, that harder it is to maintain the probable cause that I think you'd need to make those detentions,” he said.

“And what we're saying and what this community is saying, is that we are a better Arizona, that we're not going back to the politics of hate, that we are standing up,” LUCHA Executive Director Alejandra Gomez told ABC15 at a rally against the measure Saturday.
