Missouri Treasurer Malek draws line on immigration – Missourinet
Missouri Treasurer Vivek Malek is drawing a hardline stance on immigration in his election campaign. The Republican recently visited the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona but drew scrutiny for going down there in his official capacity as state treasurer.
He told Missourinet why Missourians should care about the situation at the southern border.
“It is not only a personal issue, for me it is also an issue as a state treasurer because all the burden that we are going to face from these illegal immigrants is going to impact our taxpayer’s money,” he said. “We have more than 70,000 illegals right now in Missouri and that’s going to be a burden on our education system, on our healthcare system.”
Last night I went to Yuma, AZ, to see the disastrous situation on the border. After seeing it for myself, I can tell you this w/ certainty – we must elect President Trump to finish building the wall, secure the border, and stop the flow of Chinese fentanyl into our country. pic.twitter.com/HgEz3piISE

Malek, an immigrant who became a U.S. citizen, said that America is a country of rules and regulations.
“It is a slap on the face of people like me who have done it the right way. When you allow people to enter the border illegally into the country and then just give them work cards and then fly them to the destinations, give them an apartment to live, and in five years or less than that time, they become citizens after obtaining their green card through asylum process,” he explained.
Regarding his bid for election, he argued that what is happening at the southern border goes against one of his campaign priorities, which he calls “Promise of America.”
“That you can come to this country the legal way, the right way, and if you are determined, you work hard, you get an education, you can achieve anything,” he said. “That American dream is still alive and well.”
According to Malek, Missouri is home to more than 70,000 illegal immigrants. Malek was born in India before immigrating to the U.S. in August of 2001.
He was appointed as Missouri treasurer by Gov. Mike Parson in December of 2022.

Water Safety Tips from Missouri State Highway Patrol – Ozark Radio News
As summer recreation ramps up across Missouri, safety officials are reminding residents that water safety begins long before anyone steps into a lake or river. Understanding the risks of water activities, knowing personal limits, and making responsible choices are the foundation of preventing tragedies on the water.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol and other safety agencies emphasize that natural waterways can present hidden hazards, including strong currents, sudden drop‑offs, and floating debris. Swimmers are urged to stay aware of their surroundings, use life jackets when appropriate, and avoid swimming alone.

Officials say simple precautions—such as recognizing fatigue, monitoring weather conditions, and watching out for others in your group—can make the difference between a fun day on the water and a dangerous situation. As families head outdoors, authorities encourage everyone to treat water safety as a shared responsibility.

Date set for Missouri basketball vs Kansas in Border War game
The date for the last matchup in the current Border War series is set.
Missouri men’s basketball will face Kansas in the Border War game on Dec. 6 at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, according to a post from the Jayhawks’ official X/Twitter account Tuesday. The tipoff time and TV designation for the matchup will be released at a later date.
Kansas released its full nonconference schedule Tuesday, including the sixth and final game against Mizzou on the current competition contract.
The historic rivals have not yet signed a contract to renew the series beyond this season, according to a recent batch of competition contracts obtained by the Tribune through an open records request.
Missouri is yet to announce its nonconference schedule for the 2026-27 season, but there are three other known or reported games for this upcoming season.
Mizzou will face Howard at Mizzou Arena in the last leg of a three-game series, which will take place on a still-to-be-determined date.
The Tigers also have three more neutral-site games on their schedule. The annual Braggin’ Rights matchup against Illinois likely will fall in mid- or late- December at Enterprise Center, and Mizzou has agreed to a Nov. 15 trip to United Center in Chicago to face Marquette. Missouri also reportedly will face Saint Louis on Nov. 6 at Enterprise Center, according to Jon Rothstein at CBS Sports and College Hoops Today.
This season’s Border War matchup will include the first direct transfer between the two schools when Bryson Tiller suits up for Missouri after spending last season, his freshman year, at Kansas.
KU has won four of the five games since the series was renewed in 2021, including an 80-60 win in Kansas City last season. Missouri won the 2024-25 season matchup at Mizzou Arena, but has not beaten Kansas outside of Columbia since 2003.
