Prosecutions for immigration violations on rise in Kansas

“Hardly a day passes without illegal immigrants, mainly from Mexico, arriving in Kansas hoping to do better than they had back home.

If lucky, they will blend into the state’s growing Hispanic population, find work, prosper and live unnoticed by authorities. Others, however, get caught for a crime, find themselves behind bars and are later deported. Still others come back, get caught and face felony charges for simply being here again.”
