Richardson Opposes Immigration Bill
Richardson Changes Mind on Immigration Bill,
Says He Opposes Legislation


By BARRY MASSEY Associated Press Writer
SANTA FE, N.M. May 25, 2007 (AP)

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, the only Hispanic in the Democratic
presidential race, has changed his view of immigration legislation,

The governor said earlier this week that he had misgivings about
certain provisions in the bill, but told The Associated Press that
he would vote for it if he were in Congress and would try to
improve it.

Richardson said he changed his mind after reading the entire
legislation.

"It's a terrible symbol."
