Attorney General Andrew Bailey declared on Monday that he is suing U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden. According to the lawsuit, the government has not sent records on illegal immigrant transportation into Missouri.

“We have reason to believe they are deliberately flying illegal aliens from the border into our cities,” Bailey stated. “Not on my watch.”

Bailey’s lawsuit fits the continuous national discussions on border security and immigration policy. The Missouri attorney general argues that the activities of the federal government compromise local government and overburden state resources.

The Biden government has not yet answered Bailey’s claims. This lawsuit can deepen the political and legal conflicts over American immigration policies.

Bailey’s words and legal actions have already attracted a lot of public interest; the first announcement got about 3.7 million views on social media. The result of this action could create a precedent for other states dealing with related problems.

Elon Musk, on his X account, also hinted that the Biden-Harris administration is “importing” votes with illegal immigrants.

The debate over illegal immigrant transportation has been divisive since different states accuse the federal government of moving immigrants without enough consideration. Bailey’s lawsuit aims to force the government to reveal the specifics and scope of these activities conducted inside Missouri.

This case emphasizes the larger dispute over immigration policy and border security enforcement between federal and state authorities.

Should Bailey’s lawsuit be successful, it might inspire other states to launch like-minded lawsuits and demand more federal government openness on immigration rules. The case will probably garner significant media coverage and have an impact on the national conversation on immigration reform.

Emphasizing the need of more responsibility and respect of state sovereignty, Attorney General Bailey has positioned himself as a strong opponent of the immigration policy of the Biden administration.
