Proposal to limit aid for illegal immigrants - Missouri

To get public benefits such as food stamps or housing assistance in Missouri, people would have to prove they are U.S. citizens or legally in the country under a bill endorsed by the House.

Those who couldn’t prove that they live legally in the United States could continue getting aid for 90 days. But after that, they would be reported to federal immigration authorities if they cannot prove they’re legally here.

Rep. Ed Emery said Missouri residents shouldn’t have to pay taxes so illegal immigrants can get help.”*
