Immigrants hearing set for Thursday in Kansas
Sanhueza and fellow students testified in Newton as part of the Pago Al Panos Unidos chapter effort. They said the immigrants are long-time students with limited English. Newton schools granted time off for testimony in Topeka and Sanhueza later visited Washington to urge support for a federal bill. Opponents argue the bill grants benefits to those in the country illegally, which supporters deny. The measure would require three years of Kansas high school study and a diploma, with no funding for scholarships.
