Kansas House committee votes against advancing illegal immigration measure.
The Republican: A Kansas House committee has voted against a measure that would clamp down on illegal immigration in the state. The House Judiciary Committee on Monday voted against advancing the proposal pushed by Rep. Lance Kinzer and Secretary of State Kris Kobach. The measure would require police to check the legal status of those they suspect might be in the U.S. illegally. It also would require governments to run citizenship checks on new hires and require proof of citizenship for anyone seeking public aid. State Rep. Pat Colloton of Leawood has been critical of the measure, partly because of its possible effect on charities that don't comply with the law. She told The Kansas City Star the measure could still resurface, but that it needs to be more narrowly written.
