Russell Pearce, who authored Arizona’s controversial illegal  immigration law last year that touched off a nationwide debate on  whether states can enforce federal immigration laws, sponsored Tuesday’s  more sweeping measure.“If you’re in the country illegally, you don’t have a right to public benefits, period,” he said.</blockquote>
