Oppose Anti-Immigrant Laws; Support a Path to Citizenship
Dear Governor Brownback,
We urge you to stand with Kansas immigrants! Please support a path to citizenship for millions of hard working families. Veto any anti-immigration legislation that reaches your desk. Do not support any anti-immigrant legislation that will continue to label Kansas as the state that promotes a senseless “self-deportation” approach to the issue. Harsh immigration laws will harm Kansas’s economy and break thousands of families apart.

Why is this important?
Now is the time to tell Governor Brownback that anti-immigrant laws are wrong for Kansas! We need immigration policies that reflect our state’s values of fairness, justice and equality.
Passing anti-immigrant laws will hurt the Kansas economy. If all unauthorized immigrants were removed from Kansas, the state would lose $1.8 billion in economic activity, $807.2 million in gross state product, and approximately 11,879 jobs. Implementing harsh laws would cost Kansas billions!
Anti-immigrant bills will tear families apart. Family unity is one of the strongest Kansas values. Our current system is separating and damaging 1,000 families daily. We call on Governor Brownback to support and work for a path to citizenship that allows families to stay together.
Kansas no longer wants to be labeled as the state that promotes a senseless “self-deportation” approach to this issue. The belief that making daily life miserable for undocumented immigrants is unethical and violates basic human rights! We ask Governor Brownback not to support inhumane immigration laws.
