Miami-Dade’s legislative delegation yesterday discussed immigration reform — another signal that the controversial issue will be important in Florida’s
“„The Miami-Dade delegation met for the second time this month on Wednesday — not [to] take positions on controversial issues, but to listen to nonprofits asking for lawmakers’ help in Tallahassee. #
“„State Rep. Carlos Lopez-Cantera, a Republican and the delegation’s chairman, said legislators would meet in Miami-Dade later this year to vote on their priorities. He pointed out that most, if not all, of Miami-Dade lawmakers had either taken a public position or voted against immigration proposals in the past — but warned that the issue would likely not, in his view, qualify as a delegation priority. #
