TOPEKA, Kan. — Advocacy groups have presented petitions to two state officials demanding that a Kansas legislator resign over a remark he made about illegal immigration.
They’re protesting the remark made by state Rep. Virgil Peck during a committee meeting, suggesting that illegal immigrants could be shot from helicopters like feral hogs. He said it was a joke but later apologized, calling the remark regrettable.
The groups said the apology is insufficient.
