Nebraska senators Charlie Janssen of Fremont and Tony Fulton of Lincoln signed court papers in support of Arizona's law designed to crack down on illegal immigration.
The briefs are being filed by State Legislators for Legal Immigration, a national group to which Fulton and Janssen belong.
Wednesday at the Nebraska State Fair Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson commented on the debate over illegal immigration legislation saying the first step is securing our borders.
"I know Arizona and cities like Fremont and Fairbury here in the state of Nebraska, they felt they couldn't wait, they needed to take care of it themselves and I'm understanding of that because until we get that border secured I don't think we can deal with the problem of what to do with folks that are here," said Senator Nelson.

What part of ILLEGAL do bigoted Leftists not understand? The U.S. has some of most generous immigration laws in the world, and besides, ALL sovereign nations have immigration laws. America has the right to decide who can come in and how. Illegal aliens are breaking the law and it is not fair to those who are LEGAL immigrants, like my spouse! These Illegals also cost those of us who actually pay taxes Billions in subsidized social welfare costs. The secular humanists who see the world through the lens of moral relativism and situational ethics are the same ones who say we should legalize prostitution, drugs, and Sharia law. AZ is only enforcing existing Federal law that the Leftist Obama admin. won't enforce for political gain. Those who don't like America's charitable immigration laws should strongly consider leaving and immigrating to Cuba...
