Kathleen Sebelius on Immigration

Democratic KS Governor

Focus on employers who hire illegal workers

Sebelius said employers have a responsibility to follow the law. “Some employers intentionally hire illegal workers to beat the competition, and that’s one of the areas the state can really do something about,” she said. “It’s unfair to workers here in the workforce. We need a national comprehensive discussion, whether it’s talking about what we’re doing at the border or those 14 million who are already here and who have families here. That isn’t something we can deal with state by state.” Source: Kansas City Kansan in Trinity Washington University magazine , Oct 20, 2006
