The Illegal Immigration Debate is long past due. It has begun and will continue
until the Citizens of Kansas are fully protected.

There is no doubt this legislation is not as strong as the citizen’s have demanded.
Time will tell, if this legislature has really addressed anything meaningful.

This body can be certain of two very important realities:

• The citizens of Kansas will be watching and will be ready to lend a hand in  exposing     those who break the law and challenge those who do not enforce the laws.

• And 85% of the Citizens of Kansas have sent a clear loud message,

• If you are a legally documented Immigrate, You are very welcome!
• But if you are breaking the laws by stealing identifications and sneaking into this
Country and our state illegally across the north and south borders,
You are not welcome in KANSAS.
