Right Winger Tells Kansas Business Group to Push for More Immigration

Community activist Sonny Scroggins is planning a Bias Busters demonstration in support of Grover Norquist’s appearance Wednesday in Topeka.

The Kansas Chamber and members of the Kansas Business Coalition for Immigration Reform announced earlier this month they would host a breakfast for legislators with Norquist. A release from the chamber said Norquist will talk about immigration policy, explaining why restrictions are harmful.

The breakfast is set for 8 to 9 a.m. at the Maner Conference Center, adjacent to Capitol Plaza Hotel, 1717 S.W. Topeka Blvd.

Scroggins is supporting Norquist for having immigration policies Scroggins says are different from those of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and other Republicans. Norquist has said it is good policy to have dramatically more immigrants in the United States and to provide a path forward for those already here.

For Scroggins, immigration today is comparable to the Exoduster migration that followed the Civil War.

Immigrants “are looking for a better way of life,” Scroggins said in a release.
