As you know, Rep. Steve Drazkowski and Rep. Greg Davids recently proposed immigration legislation not unlike Arizona's new law. http://mnprogressiveproject.co...

Minnesota does not have time to deal with Drazkowski and Davids. Yes, everyone is entitled to express their opinion freely, but it is our job to open those ideas up to criticism and dissent. So how can we prevent an Arizona-like immigration policy in Minnesota? By electing new representation. Steve Kemp is running for David's seat in House District 31B and NEEDS YOUR HELP!! Here is Kemp's comment on the immigration proposal:
Recently, Representatives Steve Drazkowski and Greg Davids introduced immigration legislation that Rep. Drazkowski admits is a waste of the legislature's time. This law would require more mandated work with little increased funding. It's a tragic continuation of Governor Pawlenty's "do more with less" philosophy long supported by Representatives Davids, Drazkowski, and Tom Emmer, a philosophy that has brought our state to the dire economic situation that it currently faces. It's a law that enforcement professionals in Minnesota have already said is not needed. Lets not add on to the burden of our local law enforcement departments that are already feeling the tight squeeze of our budget crisis. This proposed law would create a Minnesota where racial profiling is not only encouraged, but legally prescribed. This legislation provides a venue for anyone in the state to sue the government if they believe law enforcement is not making a "reasonable attempt to enforce" the proposed law, how do we measure that? We need to be focusing on our current problems, not creating more. We need to focus on our crumbling roads, our schools, and our budget crisis. Minnesota is not Arizona and that's a good thing. Let's not follow them down the same bumpy road, let's lead Minnesota down a different path, a path to financial soundness and economic prosperity, with safe roads and a good education. As for Arizona and its recent immigration law, let us Minnesotans remain colder in climate, not colder in heart.
Kemp is ready to tackle the tough issues in St. Paul. His dog Gus even thinks so (he has his own blog). Please consider supporting Steve by contributing to his campaign.
