Rep. Brooklynne Mosley, along with other House Democrats, spoke out against a resolution supporting federal immigration enforcement efforts during a March 19, 2025 session. Despite their efforts, the House approved Senate Concurrent Resolution 1602, urging the governor to secure the U.S. border with Mexico and enforce immigration laws. Proponents of the bill used dehumanizing language and spread false narratives about immigrants.
Several Democrats shared personal stories about their immigrant backgrounds, highlighting the contributions and struggles of immigrants in the country. Rep. Mosley emphasized that immigrants pay taxes and commit crimes at a lower rate than American-born citizens. She criticized the resolution for potentially creating a paramilitary unit and drawing attention away from other pressing issues, such as fully funding special education needs in public schools.
Other Democrats questioned the involvement of religious groups like the Kansas Catholic Conference in supporting the resolution, pointing out the inconsistencies with their teachings. The debate showcased the diverse perspectives on immigration policy within the Kansas Legislature.
