So many autist anons will have money for pimped out PCs if this passes.
A bill introduced in the Missouri Senate would pay residents $1,000 to report migrants who entered the country illegally.
“Sen.-elect David Gregory proposed the legislation, which would create an online portal for people to make reports to the State Highway Patrol and be eligible for the payout,” NewsNation reports.
NewsNation reports:
Senate Bill 72 would also develop a “Missouri Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program,” which would certify people to be bounty hunters for the specific purpose of finding and detaining immigrants without proper documents. Anyone licensed as a bail bond agent would be eligible to apply for the program.
Anyone detained in Missouri without proper documents, having knowingly entered the state, would be guilty of “trespass by an illegal alien.” That would mean they could not receive any public benefit, vote in any election, get a permit or license to drive or ever become a legal resident of the state.
The plan comes as there are legal questions over what roles states play in addressing immigration, an area typically handled by the federal government.
The Biden administration is currently challenging a Texas law that would allow the arrest and attempted removal of people who cross the southern border illegally. The Supreme Court also previously struck down an effort by Arizona to create state-level offenses for illegal immigration.
It also states the Department of Public Safety should develop an information system for people to report violations.
The bill says funds would be appropriated by the General Assembly.
Attorneys are now reacting, saying the idea of putting a bounty on someone’s head is “incredibly dangerous”.
“As a civil rights attorney this is great for me. It’ll take one week for a Puerto Rican to be harassed. This is a classic demanding papers situation – you must have your papers everywhere. This is Nazi Germany stuff,” said Immigration and Civil Rights Attorney, Javad Khazalei.
We have reached out to Gregory for a statement but have not heard back.
