Globe editorial criticizes immigration committee findings


The bizarre insertion of abortion into a report detailing how to deal with immigration problems in Missouri was criticized in an editorial in today's Joplin Globe.
Emery insists that if babies weren't being aborted there would be enough workers to take care of all jobs without having to hire illegal immigrants. His beliefs were put into the record without the consent of any of the other committee members and the committee's six Democrats refused to sign the report, noting that it gave short shrift to their beliefs that a good deal of the problem can be attributed the companies who knowingly hire illegal workers.
The Special Immigration Committee's report may have shocked many, but it came as no surprise to those who read the Aug. 6 Turner Report.
