FREMONT, Neb. (AP) - State senator Brad Ashford of Omaha is hoping to gain some perspective into how Nebraska communities are dealing with illegal immigration.

The chairman of the Judiciary Committee is involved in an interim study examining South Sioux City, Lexington, Grand Island, Scottsbluff, North Platte and Omaha. In particular he's looking at how illegal immigration education, employment and social services.

He says the cities were chosen based on location, demographics and employers.

Ashford says citizenship needs to be respected but that must be balanced with policies that reflect what's really happening in communities.
