Dozens of undocumented college students marched Tuesday to the office of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to demand that he focus on his state-level job instead of anti-immigrant crackdowns across the nation. Kobach is credited with helping draft the controversial anti-immigrant laws in Arizona and Alabama and has continued to litigate issues related to immigration in other states. On his website, Kobach refers to himself as a “defender of cities and states that fight illegal immigration.” Kobach has also filed a lawsuit challenging President Obama’s deferred action program that provides temporary relief to some undocumented young people. On Tuesday, students from Kansas and Arizona delivered a letter calling on the secretary of state to focus on his state job or resign.
