Mayor Jones Defends St. Louis Immigration Plan Against St. Charles County Opposition
TL;DR
St. Louis City Mayor Tishaura Jones expressed excitement for Latino migrants to come to St. Louis, despite a resolution introduced by St. Charles County to block migrants from moving to the region. The resolution, which was tabled, has been criticized as racist by the Hispanic Leaders Group of St. Louis. Mayor Jones suggested that if St. Charles County does not want to welcome the migrants, they can come to St. Louis instead. St. Charles County Executive Steve Ehlmann disagreed with the resolution and stated that he was not consulted about it.
