Missouri AG Challenges Kansas City Mayor's Welcome to Migrant Workers

Attorney General Andrew Bailey accuses Mayor Quinton Lucas of promoting illegal immigration, sparking legal and political debates.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey issued a legal threat to Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, accusing him of irresponsibly inviting illegal immigrants.
Legal experts and Democratic politicians argue that Bailey's accusations hold no legal merit and criticize his actions as politically motivated.
Mayor Lucas emphasizes that his invitation extends only to migrants who are lawfully in the U.S. with proper documentation.
Bailey's stance is part of a broader Republican effort to highlight issues at the southern border ahead of the 2024 elections.
Critics label Bailey's actions as fearmongering and lacking substantial legal basis.
