New Missouri Senator Proposes $1000 BOUNTY Program for Illegal Immigrants

Incoming Republican Missouri State Sen. David Gregory just filed a bill that would put into place a bounty system for citizens to get paid for reporting illegal immigrants.

Senate Bill 72 would pay out $1000 to Missouri residents who call in a report on an illegal immigrant.

The bill would also allow Missouri residents to register as a bounty hunter, where they would be rewarded with $1000 for every illegal alien turned in that leads to an arrest.

Here are the details:

KCTV5 reported:

New plans are being discussed in Jefferson City this week, including a proposed bounty hunter program for illegal immigrants.

The proposed bill would pay people to catch those they believe to be in the United States illegally.

Senate Bill 72 was pre-filed to the Missouri legislature. It is sponsored by House Representative David Gregory.

Gregory wants to pay Missourians $1000 to find and detain illegal immigrants in the state.

The first part of the bill reads that someone in Missouri illegally is “prohibited from voting in any election, receiving any permit or license to drive, receive any public benefit, and becoming a legal resident of this state.”

It’s important to note that it is already illegal to vote if you are not a citizen.

It also states the Department of Public Safety should develop an information system for people to report violations.

The bill says funds would be appropriated by the General Assembly.

American Military News has more details:

A new bill is being considered in Missouri that would offer residents a $1,000 bounty for reporting illegal immigrants in the United States. The bill would also allow bounty hunters to search for illegal immigrants and detain them.

According to Fox 2, the new bill, which was proposed by Republican State Senator-elect David Gregory, was first made public on Tuesday. If passed, the bill would create a system for residents to report illegal immigrants to the Missouri State Highway Patrol and receive a reward.

The proposed legislation, known as Senate Bill 72, states, “This act creates the offense of trespass by an illegal alien which provides that a person shall be guilty of such offense if the person is an illegal alien who knowingly enters this state and remains here and is physically present in the state at the time a licensed bounty hunter or peace officer apprehends the person.”

Senate Bill 72 warns that illegal immigrants who remain in Missouri will face imprisonment without probation or parole and that illegal immigrants will be prevented from voting in elections, becoming legal residents of the state, receiving a permit or license, and receiving any public benefits.

The bill states, “Additionally, the Department of Public Safety shall develop an information system for people to report violations of this act which shall include a toll-free telephone hotline, e-mail, and online reporting portal. Any person who makes a report in which an illegal alien is arrested shall receive a reward of $1,000.”
