Those officers would be required to check the identification of people they had stopped for other reasons, if they suspected those stopped were in the country illegally.
“This job has to be done. If 20 or 30 states introduce similar statutes, maybe the federal government will get off its duff,” said Attorney General Jon Bruning, who became an official candidate this week for U.S. Senate.
State Sen. Charlie Janssen of Fremont, as he promised earlier this year, introduced the proposal." Jan. 6, 2011, Omaha World Herald
