Topeka — House Democratic legislators Wednesday unveiled a proposal that they said would reduce illegal immigration by making employers more accountable.
But unlike a Republican measure unveiled in the Senate, the Democrats’ proposal keeps in place the current opportunity for the children of some undocumented immigrants to pay the less expensive in-state tuition for higher education.
There have been many attempts to repeal the so-called in-state tuition law, but they have all failed.
Sen. Peggy Palmer, R-Augusta, has introduced another bill that would attempt to repeal it. She said the 2004 law should be eliminated because it provides a public benefit to people who are living in Kansas illegally.
But House Democrats said the proposal was too divisive and could scuttle measures that have more support.
