The battle over whether to welcome migrants is heating up in Missouri with the attorney general and the Kansas City mayor at odds over the matter.
Thursday, Bailey, a Republican, accused Lucas of offering an “open invitation for illegal aliens to come to Missouri” and claimed Lucas’s comments welcoming workers were “wildly irresponsible.”“Make no mistake, my office will do everything in its power to take legal action against any person or entity found to be in violation of these statutes,” Bailey said, referring to a state law that makes it a felony to transport people who are in the country illegally.
He linked to an article in which he said the local economy would benefit from workers seeking asylum or other legal status in the U.S. but who are stuck in crowded shelters in cities such as New York, awaiting work permits or other documentation. “Immigration is a tough, but important issue, even when discussing, as I am, persons who are lawfully present, with lawful work permits, and the lawful ability to come to our community,” he said.
In Denver, for example, the mayor and his predecessor made public pledges that no one would be turned away, but the city hasIn New York, Mayor Eric Adams was able to convince the governor to commit $2.4 billion to cover the cost of caring for migrants who were bused to the city, only to have to return to Albany in February and ask for even more money.
