TOLEDO IMMIGRANT PROTECTIONS 

IN NORTHWEST OHIO, A COLATION OF TOLEDO ADVOCATES IS URGING TOLEDO CITY COUNCIL TO PASS NEW LEGISLATION STRENGTHENING PROTECTIONS FOR IMMIGRANTS ACROSS THE CITY. 
CITY COUNCIL PASSED A WELCOMING RESOLUTION LAST WEEK, WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES IMMIGRANT RESIDENTS, REGARDLESS OF CITIZEN STATUS, THAT THEY PLAY A ROLE IN TOLEDO'S ECONOMY. ADVOCATES SAY WHILE IT'S A NICE GESTURE, IT DOESN'T HOLD REAL SUBSTANCE. THEY SAY THE BLUEPRINT FOR WHAT THEY WANT IN TOLEDO IS ALREADY IN PLACES LIKE PHILADELPHIA, LA AND COLUMBUS.
