Brown will meet with immigrants’ advocate
Group hopes students’ stories will sway him
By Maria Sacchetti
Globe Staff / April 17, 2010

Senator Scott Brown has agreed to meet with a representative of a group pushing for legal residency for unauthorized immigrant students, his spokeswoman said yesterday.

Group members say that while they will not immediately ask Brown to take a position on immigration, they hope students’ stories will influence his thinking on the matter.

The meeting, to take place in the next four to six weeks, comes after 300 people signed an online petition and a day after nine members of the Student Immigrant Movement said they held a sit-in at his Boston office to urge the Republican senator to meet with them.

Despite Brown’s past criticism of illegal immigration, students and other advocates for immigrants have been eager to reach out to him since the death last year of his predecessor, Senator Edward M. Kennedy.

Brown’s election cost them a valuable ally in the Senate, but they said they hope Brown will keep an open mind on the issue.

1. Can't wait to see the Tea Party fall in line behind Romney!
They loved Scott Brown and tried to take credit for his election - now let's see how much they love Romney and Meg Whitman.
