Neb. governor will sign illegal-immigration bill
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Gov. Dave Heineman will sign a compromise bill that's aimed at curbing illegal immigration
Heineman's office says he'll sign the measure Wednesday afternoon.
The bill (LB403) from Sen. Russ Karpisek of Wilber got 44 votes Friday. Heineman had asked Karpisek to introduce it. No senator voted against it, although five didn't vote.
The bill would require state and local agencies verify the legal status of anyone trying to collect public benefits.
It also would require public employers and contractors to check their employees' legal status once hired.

Any updates on this yet? Has he signed the bill yet?
The flag flies at half-mast out of grief for the death of my beautiful, formerly-free America. May God have mercy on your souls.
