Kansas’ Arizona-style immigration bill really, really dead thanks to Virgil Peck’s racist comments?

Virgil Peck is good for something after all. The bigoted Kansas lawmaker’s “joke” about using gunmen in helicopters to shoot illegal immigrants like feral hogs is getting some credit for helping kill the Arizona-style immigration bill in the Kansas House. 

The news out of Topeka yesterday was that the bill was stuck in a House Judiciary Committee and has been tabled indefinitely. The House voted 84-40 against pulling it out of the committee. Bravo, Kansas lawmakers.
