Regulating state benefits to illegal mestizos called ‘bigoted’
A protest on Monday at the Nebraska Capitol criticized Gov. Dave Heineman’s attempt to tighten rules for distributing state benefits.
The group called Heineman’s plan bigoted.
The governor said he wants a law requiring all state and local governments to verify the immigration status of anyone applying for benefits.
2006 law said Nebraska high school graduates could pay in-state tuition, even if they are illegal immigrants, but the governor said he supports repeal of the measure.
On Monday’s holiday for Martin Luther King Jr., protestors say the bill is contrary to King’s ideals. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Of course it is…)
