Illegal immigration has long-term costs
Thursday, March 15, 2007
States across the nation are trying to craft legislation to address illegal immigration. Missouri is no exception. The Missouri Legislature is nearing completion of an immigration bill that is a watered-down version of earlier legislation. A court ruled illegal one of the prime provisions of the earlier measure that would have required landlords to verify that their renters are in this country legally. That court decision gutted one of the major planks of the legislation. So Missouri is including several provisions that have weathered court tests in other states.
