Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist is coming to Kansas at the behest of the
Kansas Chamber of Commerce to oppose “restrictionist” policies on immigration
reform.
“We are bringing Mr. Norquist to Kansas so legislators can hear
what real immigration reform should look like,” said Mike O’Neal, president and
chief executive officer of the Kansas Chamber.
“Each year, the business
coalition has been forced to oppose harmful, anti-business legislation pushed as
the only solution to this country’s and Kansas’ immigration woes. Mr. Norquist’s
insight will give lawmakers a fresh perspective into what direction this country
should head as it searches for a solution to the broken and inefficient
immigration system,” O’Neal added.
Norquist, who is better known
nationally as the president of Americans for Tax Reform, will speak at a
breakfast for legislators at 8 a.m. Jan. 16 at the Maner Conference Center
Shawnee Ballroom in Topeka.
