Illegal immigrants draw legislators eye – Kansas
Tagged: KansasPosted on: March 7th, 2007“Hispanics are Kansas fastest-growing ethnic group, but legislators continue to pursue immigration policies leading some Hispanics to believe theyre not really welcome.
While critics see that message in proposals before the Republican-controlled Legislature, backers say theyre responding to demands from constituents to do something about illegal immigration.
Lawmakers are considering designating English the states official language and cracking down on voter fraud. Theres talk about denying government services to illegal immigrants, while efforts to impose tougher penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants have proven problematic.”
