The long-awaited debate over the Arizona immigration law between state Rep. Debbie Riddle, R-Tomball, and state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio — promised but never facilitated by CNN — took place today on Dallas radio station KRLD, courtesy of honorary Tribune staff member Scott Braddock. Part one can be heard here; part two can be heard at krld.com at 7:10 p.m.

One tidbit: Riddle says the bill she is pushing in Texas is "really not identical, nor is it even what I would call similar to the Arizona bill."
