Chairman of the House Immigration Committee, Rep. Jerry Nolte, R-Gladstone, said adding the amendment means the bill may not pass through the House before the end of the session, which is in three days.
The bill's handler in the House, Rep. Jerry Nolte, R-Gladstone, said the bill's setback in the House makes its chances of passing "very greatly diminished." The bill had previously passed through the Senate by a vote of 26-7 on April 3.
The sponsor is Republican Representative Jerry Nolte who told the story of an illegal student who could not get a job after he graduated college since he was not a U.S. citizen.
"It does not make sense, does not make economic sense, to spend taxpayer money to train a workforce that is not able to legally work here in the United States or in Missouri," said Rep. Jerry Nolte, R-Gladstone.
HB 1463 would ban illegal foreigners from attending public universities, a move the bill's sponsor, Rep. Jerry Nolte, R-Gladstone, says will help illegal foreigners in the long run.
