Immigration Bills – Part 3 – Enforcement and History’s Lessons
Enforcement is another part of Federalism. State and local governments can choose not to assist in the enforcement of federal law to include immigration.
Legislative Picks
Immigration Bills – Part 2 – Illegal Entry and Unlawful Presence
The other side we are talking about is illegal immigration. This is where people come into this country illegally or they stay beyond their initial terms.
Immigration Bills (Part 1 of 3) Naturalization
E pluribus unum translates to “Out of many, one” though some phrased it as “From many, one”. The phrase is often tied to the United States as a “nation of immigrants”.
LB974 – An excise tax on individual incomes and create the Tax Equity Cash Fund
Should we care or should we be happy that the ultra-high earners in Nebraska would have to pay an excise tax? It would effectively take their state income tax rate to 13.5%.
LB1019 – Provide immunity from prosecution for trespass for county assessors
For many it is painful to see a bill like this. As NFFV has reported on in previous Minuteman Alerts, many families are getting taxed out of their homes.
LR316CA – Provide for certain rights of persons with disabilities
This legislative resolution looks to change the preamble of Nebraska’s constitution by adding rights for disabled persons.
LB1149 – Require disclosure of contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Does having a private entity list any contract it may have with ICE fall under the economic efficiency, quality assurance, and whether outsourcing makes fiscal and operational sense? A reasonable person would say, no.
LB978 – Civil actions for conduct relating to obscene material and child sexual abuse material
Sextortion is a form of cybercrime in which a perpetrator threatens to expose private or explicit images or videos of a victim, often obtained through coercion, deception, or blackmail.
LB1125 – Legislative approval of certain University of Nebraska contracts
This entire bill is specifically aimed at what is happening in Omaha with the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and the takeover of Nebraska Medicine. Nebraska Medicine and UNMC are two separate entities.
LB843 – Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program waiver for refugees and immigrants
I’m sure many of you are familiar with the history around the U.S. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – SNAP. It started out under Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal and was called the Food Stamp Plan.
