Why Missouri has NO illegal Aliens
Interesting: Missouri's approach to the problem of illegal immigration
appears to be more advanced, sophisticated, strict and effective than
anything to date in Arizona . So, why doesn't Missouri receive attention?
Answer: There are no Mexican illegals in Missouri to demonstrate.
The "Show Me" state has once again showed 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% 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
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!
