Immigration Forum Ignites Debate

A forum designed to inform Springfield's growing Hispanic community about their legal rights is drawing some controversy.

The Springfield Bar Association says the event will help immigrants learn about the law, but the Ozarks chapter of the Minutemen says it's a bad idea.

Watch my KY3 News @ 10 report on the debate HERE.

The event, sponsored by Grupo Latinoamericano, the Springfield Chamber of Commerce and the Bar Association, will be held Thursday, Feb. 22 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the OTC Information Commons West Rooms 100 A & B.

The Minutemen tell me they may some delegates to attend the event, but will not protest it.
