Neb. governor says immigration a federal issue

Gov. Dave Heineman says problems of illegal immigration need a unified resolution from the federal government.
Heineman spoke Friday at the Fremont Rotary. He says there can't be 50 states and thousands of cities doing it differently.
Heineman wouldn't comment specifically on the city's recently defeated proposed ordinance that would have banned renting to, harboring and hiring illegal immigrants.
Heineman talked about his plans to introduce a bill next year to prevent illegal immigrants from getting state and local benefits -- which critics say is already the case.
A similar bill was introduced last session, but the Judiciary Committee blocked it from advancing.
