“Talk of anti-illegal-immigration proposals generated emotional debate Wednesday between constituents and lawmakers.

The Kansas African American Affairs Commission and the Kansas Hispanic and Latino American Affairs Commission coordinated the forum to allow people to ask lawmakers about pending legislation.

The rocky discussion centered on Sen. Peggy Palmer’s proposed Kansas Illegal Immigration Relief Act. Among other things, it would require businesses to verify job applicants’ employability and allow police to ask about any person’s citizenship during an arrest.”*
