Thread: Kansas U: hosts pro-illegal alien/open borders conference

Note that almost all the speakers are academia-related, and almost exclusively confuse the issue of immigration with illegal aliens. There isn't anyone on the list of speakers, speaking on the costs of illegal immigration, etc. Kansas as you recall is one of the main La RAZA strongholds as it's the home-state to the unhinged, radical. loud-mouthed Janet Murgia of La RAZA and her siblings.

To explore the implications of the shifting demographics, Kansas University is playing host to a national conference called “Nuestra America in the U.S.?â€
