(From Sen. Jill Carter, R-Granby)Committed to protecting Missouri citizens and addressing the ongoing border crisis, State Sen. Jill Carter, R-Granby, has pre-filed Senate Bill 58, which would establish the “Interstate Compact for Border Security Act.” The legislation aims to enable Missouri to collaborate with other states to enhance border security and deter illegal immigration.
“During my recent visit with law enforcement at the United States - Mexico border, I witnessed firsthand the immense challenges they face in combating cartel operations and international crime syndicates that dominate illegal border crossings,” Sen. Carter said. “The $13 billion industry, driven by human trafficking, narcotics and violence is not just a border issue; it’s impacting communities across Missouri, including my own district.”
Senator Carter says Missouri communities and law enforcement agencies continue to grapple with the ripple effects of cartel activity, including rising drug overdoses, violence and resource shortages. She believes SB 58 represents a critical step in providing the tools and legal framework necessary to support law enforcement and enhance public safety.
Other provisions of the legislation include:
· Prohibiting illegal entry: The bill prohibits individuals from entering the state illegally. Offenders would face a Class E felony, punishable by one to seven years in prison, a $10,000 fine and deportation.
· Addressing illegal immigrants arrested for state crimes: The legislation includes a provision addressing illegal immigrants arrested for violating Missouri law. Penalties would vary based on the underlying offense, ranging from a Class E felony to a Class B felony, with significant fines and imprisonment.
Pre-filing of legislation began this week for the upcoming legislative session, which begins Jan. 8. For more about Sen. Carter’s legislative actions, visit senate.mo.gov/Carter.

Then we have Democratic Mayors like Quinton Lucas -
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Today, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey directed a letter to Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas putting him on notice that it is a Class D felony to knowingly transport an illegal alien in the State of Missouri. The letter comes after comments Mayor Lucas made welcoming illegal immigrants to Kansas City amidst the largest open border crisis in the nation’s history.
Democratic Mayor Quinton Lucas, is the same Mayor of Kansas City - who was in charge when the mass shooting at Chiefs Super Bowl rally that killed one and injured nearly 30 people. Do you all Feel Safe with Democratic Mayor Quinton Lucas, in charge next time you go to Kansas City, or Chiefs, or Royals Game - - I DO NOT!!!

What in the hillbilly h3ll is going on?!
How ignorant can one be to not think that an open border has a negative effect on EVERY state.
With how often our politicians visit the border you would think that there are hordes of illegal immigrants running rampant through Joplin, which is obviously not the case.
