Missouri State Representative Ben Baker – regional ICE operations and D-E-I bill

Missouri State Representative Ben Baker was a guest on the Thursday KZRG Morning Newswatch, discussing critical issues such as the ongoing national debate surrounding illegal migrant children in public schools, with contrasting approaches from states like Oklahoma and California. 

The conversation touched on the implications of ICE operations in schools amid concerns about unvetted immigration policies under the Biden administration. 

Baker also addressed the controversy over Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, advocating for their elimination from state government, highlighting potential discrimination issues, and emphasizing a return to merit-based hiring. 

Additionally, Governor Mike Kehoe’s recent State of the State Address was analyzed, focusing on key topics such as crime, tax reform, and parental responsibilities in childcare. 

Action items included monitoring the progress of Baker’s DEI-related bill and reviewing proposed subsidized childcare legislation.
