“JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri senators voted to step up state enforcement of federal immigration laws Monday, endorsing new powers for state troopers and new penalties for government contractors who hire undocumented workers.

The legislation given initial approval by voice vote represents Missouri’s most serious foray into the national debate over the estimated 11 million foreigners illegally living in the country.

The bill’s central provision would direct members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol to be trained to enforce federal immigration laws under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.”
