Idaho senate passes bill targeting illegal immigrants

Tagged:

“The Idaho State Senate [official website] passed a bill in a 29-6 vote Monday that would block illegal immigrants from using most taxpayer-financed public assistance programs. S-1157 [text] would require that applicants eighteen years of age or older to show proof that they are lawfully present in the United States before receiving certain public benefits. Sen. Chuck Coiner, one of three Republicans who voted against the bill, criticized the bills vague description of “public benefits,” which he said left it open to racist exploitation. “
