Blunt to discuss immigration bill on CNN
Gov. Matt Blunt will be a guest on CNN’s Lou Dobbs Tonight show between 6 and 7 p.m. today to discuss an immigration bill he signed.
The legislation bars the state from issuing Missouri driver licenses to illegal immigrants and imposes criminal penalties for those who assist illegals in obtaining driver licenses. It also: prohibits the creation of sanctuary cities in the state; requires verification of legal employment status of every public employee; allows for cancellation of state contracts for contractors if they hire illegal immigrants; requires public agencies to verify the legal status of applicants before providing welfare benefits; criminalizes the transportation of illegal immigrants for exploitive purposes; and enacts provisions to punish bad acting employers who hire illegal immigrants.
The legislation also requires citizenship checks on every individual presented for incarceration.

i heard about that story, too…i’ll definitely stay tuned for that one!
yeah, its the story AJH and I have been getting our posts taken down for insinuating…as far as immigration goes, is Blunt going to talk about when emails illegally immigrate to non-public servers? 800lbs gorilla in the closet.
Must-see TV!
For once, they pass legislation that I actually agree with.
