Kansas House committee bottles up anti-immigration bill

Kansas lawmakers dealt a setback Monday to a plan that would clamp down on illegal immigration in a way that’s similar to a controversial Arizona law.
The House Judiciary Committee voted against advancing the hotly debated proposal pushed by Olathe Republican Rep. Lance Kinzer and Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
Described by critics as “grossly broad,” the measure would require police to check the legal status of those they suspect might be in the United States illegally.
It also would require state and local governments and their contractors to run citizenship checks on new hires and require proof of citizenship for anyone seeking public aid.

THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA NOW PUTS OUT $20 BILLION A YEAR IN SOCIAL SERVICES TO ILLEGALS AGAINST A DEFICIT FO $28 BILLION. SO, WHO IS CAUSING THE DEFICIT? LOOKS LIKE BEING MEXICO’S WELFARE AND JAILS PROGRAM IS!
THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, WHERE HALF THE POPULATION ARE ILLEGALS, PAYS OUT $600 MILLION PER YEAR IN WELFARE TO ILLEGALS!

The fate of the bill was not clear late Monday. Kinzer was unavailable for comment after the committee tabled it. But one critic of the legislation said it could come up again.
The debate Monday centered on police running citizenship checks based on “reasonable suspicion” and how the law might affect charities that receive state grants.
State Rep. Pat Colloton, a Leawood Republican, was the most outspoken critic of the bill, partly because of the fallout it might have on charities that don’t comply with the law. She also faulted the low legal standard that would trigger citizenship checks.
MEXICANS ARE NOT A DIFFERENT “RACE”, EXCEPT TO LA RAZA “THE RACE”… WHICH THREATENS LIMP POLITICIANS THAT THEY WILL NOT GET THE ILLEGALS’ ILLEGAL VOTES IF THEY DON’T BEND TO LA RAZA SUPREMACY!
“I think there’s serious constitutional problems with it,” Colloton said. “I absolutely think that the police stopping people on reasonable suspicion is an invitation to racial profiling.”
Rep. John Rubin, a Shawnee Republican, tried to amend the bill so it would require police to have “probable cause” to run a background check, but he failed to muster enough support to move the bill along.
Rubin also wanted to exclude traffic stops and city ordinance violations as instances when police would have to check immigration status.
“I don’t think local law enforcement should even be involved in those situations. I think it’s bad public policy,” Rubin said.
Rubin also had reservations about provisions requiring businesses to pay damages — in addition to not being able to do business with the state — if they violated the law.
Colloton thought the bill could still return, but she thinks it will need to be more narrowly written.
“The bill can definitely come back,” Colloton said.
“But I think a strong message of concern was sent about the police stops and the interference of good charitable works whether they’re charitable health clinics or all the churches that oppose this bill.”

Kansas Business Coalition opposing immigration legislation
By John Hanna, Associated Press
March 2, 2011, 3:01 p.m. Updated March 2, 2011, 7:23 p.m.
Topeka — A coalition of Kansas business groups launched a campaign Wednesday against immigration proposals it argues are burdensome to companies and local governments, including a plan similar to one enacted in Arizona requiring law enforcement officers to check the citizenship status of suspected illegal immigrants.
The Kansas Business Coalition used a forum on immigration issues to highlight what it sees as the problems in the state pursuing immigration policy, with several dozen legislators attending. The coalition includes the state’s major agribusiness groups, such as the Kansas Farm Bureau and Livestock Association; trade associations for contractors and restaurant operators, and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan.
They oppose a bill to require state agencies and contractors to make a good-faith effort to check the legal status of their employees, using the federal E-Verify program. It also contains a provision similar to the Arizona law, requiring law enforcement officers to check the citizenship or immigration status of someone stopped for another reason if officers have a reasonable suspicion that the person is in the U.S. illegally.
Kathleen Campbell Walker, an El Paso, Texas, immigration attorney, said such laws are more complicated to enforce and burdensome for businesses than usually advertised. She and Mike Taylor, a lobbyist for the Unified Government, also said they will open cities and counties to lawsuits and new costs that states can’t afford to cover.
“If you’ve got unlimited resources, and you want to make a statement on federal law enforcement then go for it, but I can’t imagine that makes much sense for limited state dollars,” Walker said after the forum. “It involves a lot of cost and a lot of implementation thought, and unfortunately people don’t have the patience to listen to the minutia that is immigration law.”
The immigration proposals are being pushed by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lance Kinzer, an Olathe Republican who is among the Legislature’s most influential conservative members. He had help in drafting it from a fellow Republican, Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Kansas City-area law professor on leave who helped draft the law Arizona enacted last year.
The House Federal and State Affairs Committee plans to have a hearing on Kinzer’s legislation within a few weeks. Kinzer did not attend Wednesday’s forum but said he’s not surprised by the business coalition’s opposition, having encountered similar resistance in the past.
“Those who don’t want us to see us take on the immigration issue for whatever reason are always going to come with excuses with respect to why it can’t be done,” Kinzer said.
Kinzer’s legislation already has faced sharp criticism because opponents believe the provision similar to Arizona’s law would lead to racial profiling in policing. He and Kobach have said that’s not the case, because the legislation specifically says the reasons for checking someone’s immigration or citizenship status can’t be tied to their race or ethnicity.
The forum largely steered clear of that argument — though Walker noted some Arizona’s officials concerns about lost convention business because of the controversy surrounding that state’s law. Walker said law enforcement officials will need extensive training just to be able to sort through different kinds of immigration documents.
She also said such a law is likely to increase the distrust of law enforcement agencies, so that people will be less likely to report crime to them.
Taylor said local governments likely face big costs in training their personnel and transporting and holding people they identify as potentially being in the country illegally. The E-Verify provisions also would increase local governments’ costs and subject them to lawsuits if they wrongly exclude companies from bidding for contracts, he said.
“We’re going to be caught in a very big bind,” Taylor said. “We can’t afford it. We don’t have the staff to be able to administer the law the way it’s proposed, and it would be totally unworkable.”
But Kinzer chalked such arguments up to critics’ political opposition to stricter immigration enforcement. He acknowledged legislators should consider the logistics involved in enforcing laws such as the ones he’s proposing, but, “It doesn’t create an argument for simply turning a blind eye to illegal activity.”

Opinion
California must stem the flow of illegal immigrants
The state should go after employers who hire them, curb taxpayer-funded benefits, deploy the National Guard to help the feds at the border and penalize 'sanctuary' cities.
Illegal immigration is another matter entirely. With the state budget in tatters, millions of residents out of work and a state prison system strained by massive overcrowding, California simply cannot continue to ignore the strain that illegal immigration puts on our budget and economy. Illegal aliens cost taxpayers in our state billions of dollars each year. As economist Philip J. Romero concluded in a 2007 study, "illegal immigrants impose a 'tax' on legal California residents in the tens of billions of dollars."
