Mike Kehoe on Immigration

Illegal immigration in Missouri is out of control

Kehoe, who boasted of his two visits to the Mexico-United States border, described illegal immigration in Missouri as "out of control," especially with an excess of deadly, illegal drugs like fentanyl, entering the country. Kehoe said he would like to get a handle on the number of undocumented immigrants so state funds can be redirected to Missouri taxpayers.

Visit National Guard at the border to understand the issues

Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe's spokesperson did not address questions about whether it was proper to declare an invasion of Missouri or to order mass removal, instead boasting about Kehoe's trip to the Mexican border with members of state national guard. "Mike Kehoe takes action from the front-lines, not from behind a keyboard and Twitter account," he said.

Kehoe is visiting the approximately 250 National Guard soldiers already in Texas operating under federal orders. Gov. Mike Parson has ordered 200 soldiers and 11 Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers to work with Texas law enforcement at the request of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Parson has asked lawmakers for $2.2 million to cover the cost.
