JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - A new report from a Republican-led Missouri House committee suggests abortion is partly to blame forillegal immigration. The report says 30 years of legal abortion has led to a shortage of American workers -- thus enticing illegal immigrants looking for jobs. It also blames a rise in illegal immigration on, quote,"liberal social welfare policies" that have created "a lack of incentive" for Americans to work. The statements were included in the report of the Special Committee on Immigration Reform by Chairman Ed Emery of Lamar. All ten Republican committee members signed the report. But all six Democratic members have refused to sign it. SomeDemocrats are calling the abortion and welfare assertions"ridiculous" and "delusional."
