Nebraska State Sen. Charlie Janssen followed through Thursday on his promise to introduce a statewide illegal immigration measure, similar to one passed last year in Arizona.

Janssen was joined by Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning on the first day of bill introduction in the 2011 legislative session.

Arizona's law requires police officers, when enforcing other laws, to question the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally.

Critics say the Arizona law encourages racial profiling. A federal judge blocked sections of the law in July, including provisions calling for police to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws and requiring immigrants to prove they are in the United States legally.
