TOPEKA | With Congress on the sidelines, lawmakers in Kansas and Missouri say they have no choice but to make illegal immigration a target in 2008.

In both states, legislators are pushing tougher laws. The measures — being considered in neighboring states and already passed in Oklahoma — range from increased authority for law enforcement to tougher rules for employers.

“You’re seeing this now because this issue has hit the heartland,â€

not so fast kansas -democratic gov loves illegal immigrants

I guess Governor Sebelius is going to have a problem isn't she.

Great NEWS! Thanks for posting!

I hear that "Tennessee", "Wisconsin" and "Indiana" are also in the running.

Seems to me the Heart Land gets it... matter of fact it's the same states that are fighting the NAFTA Highway

People are sick of this crap and Bull SH_T Politicains and thier need to corrupt this country

Opponents of the proposals said that there was no evidence illegal immigrants caused the problems many suggested and that tougher rules could overburden law enforcement or hurt businesses that relied on immigrant labor.

Cry me a river. Maybe if Kansas employers hired legal immigrants, they wouldn't have to "overburden law enforcement" or "hurt businesses". I'm getting so sick of IA huggers rationalizing illegal behavior. Can you say intellectually dishonest?
