The ACLU of Nevada and a southern Nevada business coalition have sued over a ballot initiative that would ask voters to approve tough immigration laws in Nevada similar to those in Arizona.
In their lawsuits filed Friday, the ACLU and the Nevada Open for Business Coalition ask Carson District Judge James Wilson to block the initiative from going to the Legislature or voters.
The groups contend it violates state law requiring petitions to contain only one subject, promotes racial profiling and would hurt the state's economy.

Could our economy be worse? WE have 20 million illegal aliens here and our economy is failing. It is not getting worse because they are leaving. That old rhetoric is dead.
