“Most have been there more than 10 years,” Powell told the Capital-Journal. “It would be devastating to the Kansas economy to send them all home.”
With Republicans like this, who needs Democrats. What part of "illegal" does he not understand? We're trying to make headway against the illegal's flooding our country and he's protecting cheap labor.
What part of "law-breaker approval" do Kansas Committee Members not understand?
The governor of Kansas is Sam Brownback (R). If he tolerates this action, his judgment needs to be questioned.
Each expression of political vice, government dependency, excess spending and debt, twisting of the rule of law, class war demagoguery, rots the foundation of society and adds a layer of risk.
Is the Ag Secretary position an appointed one? If so, the Governor should remove him for promoting illegal activity.
If it were up to farmers, slavery would return.
Get rid of Illegals period!
Make able bodied welfare recipients work to earn their welfare money.
What’s wrong with that? After all, they steal more from us than the illegals do in the name of welfare.
Currently we have 14 different federal migrant worker programs on the books. Farmers just wish to skip the compliance parts of these programs, such as providing housing and health care. Better for the bottom line if you pay for it.
Nobody will suggest that we replace illegal immigrant workers with citizens receiving gov’t assistance.
A little background. Brownback is a ‘compassionate’ conservative.
There’s plenty who ‘owe a debt to society’ simply watching tv in our jails.. at 35k/year. I don’t think it would be that hard to figure out how to put them to work and inmates from all over the country could rotate through these programs. After three or four seasons of work, they get to start working down their sentence.
Industrial farming is a mess, from the mega crap factories called CAFOs to the large packers (if you wish to see Somalies go to Lexington, NE). CAFOs have the footprint of a small city but since they are “Green Acres” they can basically just spray raw crap out of a sprinkler system onto the ground. Next the government will increase in size to regulate this and the merry go round of ripping off the citizens keeps on keeping on.
It was devistating to the South to get rid of slavery too.
With unemployment at 9.0% There might be people that are available for work.
