MISSOURI!!!! ALL STATES SHOULD FOLLOW THEIR LEAD Missouri has almost no illegals, go figure...... Missouri's approach to the problem of illegal immigration appears to
be more advanced, sophisticated, strict, and effective than anything
to date in Arizona. Do the loonies in San Francisco, or the White
House, appreciate what Missouri has done? When are our fearless
President and his dynamic Attorney General going to take action to
require Missouri start accepting illegal immigrants once again? So,
why doesn't Missouri receive attention?
Answer: There are almost no Mexican illegals in Missouri to demonstrate & protest!
The "Show Me" state has once again shown us how it should be done.
There needs to be more publicity and exposure regarding what Missouri
has done. Let's pass it around.
In 2007, Missouri placed on the ballot a proposed constitutional
amendment designating English as the official language of Missouri.
In November, 2008, nearly 90% voted in favor! Thus English became the
official language for ALL governmental activity in Missouri.
No individual has the right to demand government services in a language OTHER than English. In 2008, a measure was passed that required the Missouri Highway
Patrol and other law enforcement officials to verify the immigration
status of any person arrested, and inform federal authorities if the
person is found to be in Missouri illegally. Missouri law enforcement
offices receive specific training with respect to enforcement of
federal immigration laws.
In Missouri, illegal immigrants do NOT have access to taxpayers
benefits such as food stamps and health care through Missouri
HealthNET.
In 2009, a measure was passed that ensures Missouri's public
institutions of higher education do NOT award financial aid to
individuals who are illegally in the United States.. In Missouri, all
post-secondary institutions of higher education annually certify to
the Missouri Dept. of Higher Education that they have NOT knowingly
awarded financial aid to students who are unlawfully present in the
United States.
So while Arizona has made national news for its new law, it is
important to remember, Missouri has been far more proactive in
addressing this horrific problem. Missouri has made it clear that
illegal immigrants are NOT welcome in the state and they will
certainly NOT receive public benefits at the expense of Missouri
taxpayers.
