MO: Main immigration bill loses support
The cheap labor lobby and CoC are at it again.

Main immigration bill loses support
by Randy McConnell
February 22,2008
Rep. Vicki Schneider anticipated few troubles when she introduced legislation that would require Missouri employers to use a free online federal database designed to detect illegal immigrants.
Schneider, a Republican from St. Charles, had the support of Gov. Matt Blunt and the understanding that Republican core voters are particularly passionate about the subject of illegal immigration.
House Speaker Rod Jetton signed on as the lead co-sponsor after Schneider arranged for him to meet with Kris Koback, the University of Missouri- Kansas City law professor who drafted the bill and who had worked for former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft as an immigration adviser.
House officials expected the Schneider bill to become a major vehicle for the effort to crack down on illegal immigration, which Jetton and Senate President Pro Tem Mike Gibbons both highlighted as a major issue during speeches at the start of the session. The House special committee on immigration scheduled early hearings on House Bill 1736.
But just over a month into the legislative session, Schneider's bill is in trouble, and the head of a House immigration committee is looking for an alternative but said time is running short.
All of the state's major business lobbies— Associated Industries of Missouri, the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the National Federation of Business-Missouri—are firmly united to scuttle the legislation, and Jetton's views have changed.

Related story in another thread about MO House Speaker Jetton who has not only caved to the cheap labor lobby, but is now also insulting US workers:
"Jetton made his remarks when asked about his statement made to Republicans in Springfield, Mo., that he would like to "trade some of our people for some of the Mexicans who work so hard."
He didn't back away from that remark. "If we can find a way to trade them, I would trade them in a heartbeat," Jetton said."

His site says he is for:
"Fiscal Responsibility
Quality Education
Traditional Family Values

Doesn't he realize or care that illegal immigration negatively impacts all of these?? What a joke.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Oh, I'm sure he does care about all of these things:
"Fiscal Responsibility
Quality Education
Traditional Family Values
Missouri Jobs & Security"
So long as they pertain to ILLEGAL ALIENS.
He's obviously just another one whom could not give a damn about the people he is paid to represent.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

My point--proven again
My point--proven again---
The greatest enemy we face is the enemy within. Businessmen who look at their personal desires and wealth and ignore the laws of our country for greater profit. What in God's name has happened to our country and its people? These same businessmen and women do not care a whit about our sovereignty or our survival. All they care about is enhancing their profits. This is treasonous. I predict their will be an independent country of Aztlan, comprised of 5 American states within 2-3 years. The CoC will not care a whit--it will be business and profits as usual.
