Kansas unveils Arizona-like bill targeting illegals

[gremlin]

Indiana is trying to get a bill passed. now it looks like kanssas is trying to. wonder how many states need to pass bills be for washington dc under stands.

TOPEKA | Kansas joined Arizona on the front lines of one of America’s hottest political debates Thursday when conservative state leaders introduced legislation targeting illegal immigrants.

Modeled after Arizona’s controversial law on illegal immigration, the bill proposes several measures to deal with a problem that supporters contend the federal government has too long ignored. The proposed legislation would:

•Require local police to check the legal status of those they suspect might be in the U.S. illegally.

•Require proof of citizenship for anyone seeking public assistance.

•Make it illegal to harbor illegal residents and bolster the penalties for making fake identifications.

•Insist that state and local governments and their contractors run citizenship checks on all new hires.

Rep. Lance Kinzer, an Olathe Republican, wrote the bill with Secretary of State Kris Kobach, also a Republican. Both said the bill took some provisions of Arizona’s law — known as SB 1070 — and added other pieces from earlier proposals in Kansas.

Colorado wussed out! They said they didn't want to spend the money the resulting lawsuits would cost.

I'm biting my tongue and getting ready to break my fingers so I can't comment any more.

give it time. the more states that switch over the better. some are just waking up. heck they are getting ready to bust a guy doing illegal documents here in Indiana, there popping up all over the place.

one doctor lost his license to practice in the states and after his jail time will be deported for trying to alter finger prints.
