Following Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas' comments on welcoming migrants to the city for job purposes, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has sent a letter criticizing his comments. "We are a nation governed by the rule of law," Bailey writes in the letter. "Yet, under the current Administration in Washington, D.C., laws that don't align with a radically progressive agenda are simply ignored. Chief among these are the laws that prohibit illegal immigration into our country and into the State of Missouri."On Tuesday, Lucas shared a Bloomberg interview on social media. He told the outlet that he's working with New York Mayor Eric Adams and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston to ease migration pressure on their cities."We need a lot more employees," Lucas told Bloomberg. "If there are people who are willing and ready to work, then I believe that there could be a place for them."According to Lucas, the city approved $1 million for short-term rehousing, healthcare, and job training programs for refugees and migrants. In the letter, Bailey said Lucas is "undermining the rule of law." "Your open invitation to illegal aliens to come to Missouri is not only dangerous but comes at great expense to Missouri taxpayers, residents, and business owners," Bailey concluded the letter. "Rather than undermining the rule of law, I invite you to join me as I actively seek to defend it and to protect Missourians."Bailey said his office would take legal action or any "person or entity found to be in violation of statues" regarding hiring those illegal in the country.Officials in New York City say over 175,000 migrants have arrived there.
