Missouri trying to follow Arizona, Alabama

Missouri lawmakers are trying to institute policy that would require schools to verify the immigration status of students, Ed Week reports. However, this is a provision, dating back to California's evil Proposition 187, that has consistently been struck down as unconstitutional. "The bill, which has not been scheduled for a hearing, would require reporting on the number of illegal immigrant students and how many of them are enrolled in programs to help them learn English. Cost information would be part of the report."
