California lawmakers introduced a bill that would allow state universities and colleges to hire students who are illegal immigrants to work on campus.

Assembly Bill 2586, introduced by Assemblyman David Alvarez, came after the University of California’s (UC) regent board decided to table a similar policy for the UC system in January, citing possible legal troubles.
