Rep. Jim Walsh speaks during floor debate on House Bill 1072

Rep. Jim Walsh, R-Aberdeen, speaks during floor debate on House Bill 1072. The 19th District lawmaker discusses his opposition to the proposal, which seeks to provide legal aid to illegal immigrants.

Walsh says the amendments House Republicans sought to attach to the bill would have alleviated many of his concerns. However, because those amendments were rejected, he was forced to vote against the bill.
