MISSOURI BILL DESIGNED TO CRACKDOWN ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Missouri state Senator Will Kraus is pushing for a legislative crackdown on illegal immigration with a bill designed to deter illegal immigrants from coming to the state and to gather information on the impact of their presence. He also has a separate bill directing the state’s attorney general to sue the federal government for the financial burden illegal immigrants have on the state. Illegal immigrant advocates are already gearing up for a fight to stop the bills which are not yet scheduled for a hearing. Vanessa Crawford, executive director of Missouri Immigration and Refugee Advocates calls the bill, “an attack on immigrant children and their families.”
