05/17/2008: "Missouri Senate passes wide-ranging immigration bill"
The Missouri Senate has passed a wide-ranging illegal immigration bill.
It would bar so-called "sanctuary cities," authorize state troopers to be trained to enforce federal immigration laws, and require driver's license tests be given in English.
But it also contains an amendment that leaders in the State House don't like.
That amendment would fine employers who misclassify undocumented workers as "contractors" up to $50,000.
[ Hopefully a trend that will catch on all over the US. ]
