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 doesnt Missouri receive attention?
Answer: There are no Mexican illegals in Missouri to demonstrate.
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.
In 2007 Missouri placed on the ballot a proposed constitutional amendment designating English as the official language of Missouri .
In November 2008 nearly 90 voting 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 must 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.
