Missouri directive aimed at illegal immigrants
O'Fallon Mayor Donna Morrow said she was thankful the state was stepping in to help the city deal with a problem she has long found frustrating
O’FALLON, Mo. - 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.
Blunt said he was spurred to issue the new directive after construction projects in this suburban St. Louis town and elsewhere were alleged to employ illegal immigrants. “This will help ensure that Missouri taxpayers are not in some way subsidizing illegal immigration,” he said after announcing the directive at a news conference.
