Missouri governor issues directive aimed at illegal aliens
Tagged: MissouriPosted on: August 29th, 2007“Gov. Matt Blunt issued a directive Tuesday that will tighten oversight of state-financed construction projects to ensure that contractors don’t employ illegal immigrants.
The directive came one day after the Republican asked state law enforcement agencies to check the immigration status of people they arrest.
