Baddour defends illegal immigration amendment on NECN's BroadSide with Jim Braude

June 8, 2010 -  Senator Steven A. Baddour (D-Methuen) was a guest on NECN's BroadSide with Jim Braude to discuss a measure that cracks down on benefits to illegal immigrants which was recently adopted by the state Senate.

State Sen. Steve Baddour (D), who is the lead sponsor of the budget amendment, said much of what is being done in the measure has already been enacted by the state legislature.

"At the end of the day we need to make sure that those people that are getting state benefits are state citizens or are citizens of the Commonwealth," state Sen. Baddour said.
