Alternatives to Kansas' Illegal Alien Hiring Plan


"Kansas Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman is seeking a federal waiver that would allow companies to hire illegal immigrants, according to The Associated Press. There is a push by agriculture producers -- such as large dairies and feedlots across the country who are desperate for workers-- to take this to Topeka," the McPherson Sentinel says.

"Labor being done by illegal immigrants could be filled by documented workers if they were just willing to put forth the effort. They should be more willing to do a job they might not particularly enjoy and/or set aside their unemployment benefits and buckle down for the work that is clearly available. And it seems those who are willing to put forth the effort, such as those underage, are not allowed the benefit of the experience. If work environments are safe, underage workers should not be denied the valuable, lifelong and early education they could obtain from working in agriculture."
