Missouri State Senator David Gregory has prefiled a bill that would create new penalties for undocumented immigrants entering and residing in the state.

The proposed legislation establishes the offense of "trespass by an illegal alien," making it a felony punishable by imprisonment without eligibility for probation or parole.

Exceptions apply if the federal government takes the individual into custody within 24 hours for deportation.

Under the bill, those convicted would be prohibited from voting in any election, obtaining a driver license, receiving public benefits, and becoming legal residents of Missouri.

The measure also directs the Missouri Department of Public Safety to develop an information system—including a toll-free hotline, email, and online portal—for reporting violations.

Individuals who report cases leading to an arrest would be eligible for a $1,000 reward.
