GOP Hits Barnes on Amnesty
By Antonio D. French
The Missouri Republican Party today slammed Democratic Congressional candidate Kay Barnes for comment she made supporting extending citizenship to illegal immigrants.
"I favor the opportunity for people, if they have been here for a period of time, if they have demonstrated a work ethic and so on, to be able to stay and go through eventually a citizenship process," the St. Joseph News-Press quoted Barnes yesterday speaking to about three dozen people at the Buchanan County Democrat Women's Club.
Barnes, the former mayor of Kansas City, is challenging Republican Congressman Sam Graves for his seat next year.
"It is shocking that on the same day that a major immigration raid is conducted in Missouri, Kay Barnes would stand up and say that she supports rewarding illegal immigrants by granting them American citizenship,” said Paul Sloca, communications director for the Missouri Republican Party.Labels: Kansas_City
