Missouri House Speaker believes ‘bounty hunter’ immigration bill unlikely to pass – KSDK.com


Missouri House Speaker, Rob Vescovo, has expressed doubts about the passing of a controversial immigration bill that has been dubbed as a ‘bounty hunter’ proposal. The bill aims to enable private citizens to sue any individual or entity that they believe is not complying with federal immigration laws. Vescovo believes that there is little chance of the bill passing in its current form.

The bill has raised concerns among critics who fear that it could lead to racial profiling and vigilantism, as well as strain on local law enforcement and courts. Proponents argue that the bill would help enforce immigration laws and reduce the burden on state and federal agencies.

Vescovo’s skepticism comes after the bill passed out of committee, but faced opposition from various groups including law enforcement organizations and immigrant rights advocates. The bill is currently pending in the House Rules Committee for further consideration.

Despite the controversy surrounding the bill, Vescovo remains focused on other legislative priorities such as passing a state budget and addressing issues relating to workforce development. He has also expressed a desire to work on bipartisan legislation that benefits all Missourians.

Overall, the fate of the ‘bounty hunter’ immigration bill remains uncertain as it faces opposition and skepticism from key lawmakers. It will be interesting to see how the bill progresses through the Missouri legislative process in the coming weeks.
