TACOMA — The Tacoma City Council approved a measure Tuesday condemning Arizona’s illegal immigration law as encouraging racial profiling.
The News Tribune of Tacoma reports the measure that passed on a 5-3 vote says America’s immigration system is broken and needs reform.
The council dropped earlier language that called for a city boycott on business and travel to Arizona.
Mayor Marilyn Strickland says its measure is a “call to conscience.”
