Missouri has no illegal's; go figure... Shouldn't the other states do the same? Missouri's approach to the problem of illegal immigration appears to be more advanced, sophisticated, strict and effective than anything to date in Arizona . Does the White House appreciate what Missouri has done? So, why doesn't Missouri receive attention? Answer: There are no illegal's in Missouri to demonstrate.
The "Show Me" state has again shown us how it should be done. There needs to be more publicity and exposure regarding what Missouri has done. Please pass this 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% voted 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 officers receive specific training with respect to enforcement of federal immigration laws.
In Missouri, illegal immigrants do NOT have access to taxpayer benefits such as food stamps or health care through Missouri Health NET.
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 are required 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 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 NOT receive public benefits at the expense of Missouri taxpayers.

Wasn’t true then, isn’t true now.
The date hookup site this is from has a link showing that website OzarksSentinel.com is for sale.
When did they chase the illegals out? On June 12, 2007, federal agents rounded up 167 undocumented workers at Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., a large North Portland food processing plant. And that was just one raid. I’m glad they did, but when?

I guess I should have made the sarcasm /s larger or in color.
The Emergency Room is the place for the illegals to be. If they are patient and prepared to wait, they cannot be turned away and refused treatment. Many of these foreign persons exploit the system for routine, nonemergency health care needs and the taxpayers and/or the paying patients wind up being stuck with the bills or higher costs.
I guarantee you that my bill is jacked up to cover the cost of the illegals.
But hey, illegal entry is just another "victimless crime". /sarc.
Sorry, I missed the sarcasm. My fault.
