Kansas opens debate on illegal immigration

Legislators agree that Kansas employers shouldn’t hire illegal immigrants, but they disagree over how the state should punish violators, a House committee chairman said Monday.

The Federal and State Affairs Committee considered four bills dealing with illegal immigration. They dealt with hiring requirements, denying most public benefits to illegal immigrants, allowing local governments to ban them from renting houses and requiring local and state law enforcement officers to review the citizenship of people they stop for any violation.”*
