Residents of Fremont, Nebraska, on Monday voted in favor of a measure that makes it illegal to hire or rent property to an illegal immigrant.

The Associated Press reported moments ago:

The special election in Fremont on Monday was the latest proposal in a series of immigration regulations taken up by communities around the country. About 57 percent of voters supported the measure, which is expected to be challenged in court.

Supporters say the measure is needed to make up for what they see as lax federal law enforcement. Opponents fear it could fuel discrimination.

Those interested can read more about the specifics of the ordinance here.
