Missouri House backs curbs on illegal immigrants - (looks like Missouri might be going the way of Oklahoma - makes me want to move out this state)

The House gave preliminary approval Wednesday to legislation that would crack down on illegal immigrants — a week after the Senate approved its own version.

The House bill includes provisions requiring federal immigration law training for the Missouri State Highway Patrol if there’s funding, mandating immigration status checks for those placed in jail and requiring that commercial drivers license tests be given in English.

But the Senate Appropriations Committee has stripped money to pay for the troopers’ federal training from next year’s budget. Gov. Matt Blunt asked lawmakers to include $253,050 so 75 officers could be trained to use federal immigration databases and enforce immigration laws.”*
