“In Nevada, mass deportation efforts would wreck our economy, especially with our limited tax base, lead to increased tensions with local police and probably more crime, and undermine constitutional privacy protections. The Nevada Constitution protects every Nevadan regardless of their status and that’s what Lombardo should be focused on.
