Williams Files Bill to Kill Kentucky Farmers

Don't be fooled by the racist, anti-American, un-constitutional facade of this supposed anti-immigrant bill. What Kentucky Senate President David Williams, rethuglican candidate for governor, is really trying to do is destroy Kentucky agriculture by eliminating its entire workforce.

And what better cover than having as his lite guv running mate the current - wait for it - commissioner of agriculture?

Political genius, I tell you - genius!

Senate President David Williams, R-Burkesville, on Wednesday unveiled his proposal for immigration reform, which mirrors the Arizona immigration law that is being challenged in a federal appeals court.

Williams, who is running for governor next year, wants to require local law enforcement to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws.

A federal judge in July blocked Arizona from enforcing such a provision after the federal government sued the state. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals last month heard arguments in the case but has not ruled. The law is expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Williams' office released copies of Senate Bill 6 late Wednesday and did not respond to requests for comment.

As is the case with Arizona's law, Williams' bill would allow police to detain people they reasonably suspect are in the country without authorization and check their status with federal officials.
