Thread: Three cheers for Missouri, I'm packing my bags!

Let's pass it around.

In 2007, Missouri placed on the ballot a proposed constitutional amendment designating English as the Official language of Missouri. Nearly 90% voting in favor! English became the official language for ALL governmental proceeding in Missouri. It also means no individual has the right to demand government services in a language OTHER than English.

In 2008, a measure was passed that requires our 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 here illegally. It allows Missouri law enforcement offices to receive training to enforce federal immigration laws. The bill makes it clear that illegal immigrants will 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 here illegally. The law also requires all post-secondary institutions of higher education to 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 proactive in addressing this growing problem.

Missouri has sent a clear message that illegal immigrants are NOT welcome in our state and they are certainly NOT welcome to receive public benefits at the cost of Missouri taxpayers!

I received this information today, I'm hoping any ALIPAC members from Missouri can contribute to this posting. Are these laws really on the Missouri books?

Yes, it's true.

OK is also not illegal alien friendly either.

Yes but they are still here...many companies pay them in cash, and many companies bring them in from surrounding States (TX/AR) to do jobs for a short period and then leave. We need more laws to take away business licenses with heavy fines and jail time for anyone (yea even those who go to day labor sites) that hires an illegal. The fly-by-night roofing companies are in my area with tons of them....none of them speak a word of English and blare their boom boxes with either mariachi music or spanish talk radio so it can be heard down the block. The ones next to me last week got the plug pulled. Once I told em the cops/ICE would be over it ceased....lol

This is such a spin line

Of course they can't get welfare, BUT THEIR HOARDS OF ANCHOR BABIES CAN AND DO.
