Immigration initiative among measures unable to make 2012 Nevada ballot

### August 15, 2011[edit]

CARSON CITY, Nevada: An immigration initiative was among those this year that did not make the ballot in Nevada.

The proposed measure called for authorizing police questioning a person's immigration status if there were any suspicions that they were illegal immigrants.[1]

The initiative emulated an April 23, 2010 approved immigration bill in Arizona. A repeal was filed days following it's approval. It also resembled a proposed initiative in Ohio to reform immigration throughout the state.
