New Nebraska bill would target benefits for illegal immigrants

LINCOLN - Gov. Dave Heineman unveiled a legislative proposal today aimed at ensuring that illegal immigrants do not get state or local government benefits in Nebraska. The plan, backed by Attorney General Jon Bruning and State Sen. Mike Friend of Omaha, would require state and local agencies to verify that people are legal U.S. residents before extending benefits.
