Controversial Mississippi immigration law dies in state Senate

This is very good news, they have discovered "issues", probably the same ones everyone else found.   - - Donna Poisl

(CNN) -- Less than a month after handily passing Mississippi's House of Representatives, a controversial immigration law died this week in the state's Senate.

The Mississippi bill would have required police to check the immigration status of people who are arrested. It also would have prohibited any "business transactions," including renewal of drivers' licenses and obtaining business licenses, for undocumented immigrants.

Laura Hipp, spokeswoman for Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, told CNN on Friday that "issues" with the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhood Act "did not surface until after the bill was sent to the Senate."
