Will he sponsor legislation allowing MO citizens to live several families in one dwelling, drive without licenses and auto insurance, use false IDs and stolen SS #s, be allowed to go free if arrested for DUI, driving without a license etc etc, take advantage of medical services without being billed and skip paying taxes with impunity?

That is the playing field citizens and legal immigrants compete on with illegal aliens.

Jetton is the co-sponsor of a significant bill (HB 1736) to curb illegal immigration in Missouri.

However, according to the Columbia Business Times he is backing off.

Why?

Because the Associated Industries of Missouri, the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the National Federation of Business-Missouri have their collective underwear in a bunch.

Here is the article from Feb. 22, 2009: http://columbiabusinesstimes.com/1019/2008/02/22/main-immigration-bill-loses-support

HB 1736 had a mini hearing on Feb. 6th. There has not been another hearing on this bill. We demand that the bill have a full hearing and voted out of the Committee.

Here is Jetton’s contact numbers:

The Chairman of the Immigration Committee is Rep. Jerry Nolte. He needs a call as well.
