The omnibus immigration bill is three related House bills all under the same umbrella.

Lake of St. Louis Republican Representative Bob Onder is the sponsor and says only immigrants put in jail for serious crimes would have their status checked.

Republican Representative Bob Onder says there should be zero tolerance for any illegal immigrant that commits a violent crime.

Actuality:  ONDER2.WAV
Run Time: 00:13
Description: Of course murder, robbery, rape, assault. Those are the kind of crimes that might land you in jail and those are the kind of crimes that if you are an illegal alien, we want to catch you. We want to turn you over to I.C.E. (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and we want you out of the country.


St. Louis Democratic Representative Maria Chappelle-Nadal opposes the bill and says illegal immigration exists elsewhere.

Actuality:  NADAL3.WAV
Run Time: 00:07
Description: We're not New York. This is not Los Angeles. This is not Miami. This is Missou-rah! It's a whole different place.

The bill would also make English the only language available for Missouri driving tests.
