Did you hear about the Missouri state senator-elect that wants to create a program to enlist citizens as 'bounty hunters' of illegal immigrants for $1,000 a piece? The state is 49th in education but number one in stupid ideas from Republicans.

Trump will use the Jan 6 felons once he pardons them, you watch
White settlers in California were paid bounties for Native scalps back in the 1850s.
They will encourage or empower civilians to send "undocumented" over the border.
Except it has nothing to do with immigration status or even citizenship. It is a code word for darker skin.
The only thing left on my idiocracy bingo card is using federal prisoners as slave labor to make up for the loss of immigrant workers.
Maga's will think they have free rain to do as they please.
They are already speaking out! 😠
Let me think…1838 comes to mind. Gov. Boggs issued an Executive Order kicking out Mormons? Those who refused to leave were killed.
I don’t remember how much the bounty was per head for those Mormons who refused to leave.
Show me the stupidest state in America.
Weird how the ideas are virtually identical...
I'm happy you're there giving them hell.

(Yes, it does sound like hiring receptionists to herd cattle, but like Forrest Gump said.)
(And not for the worst reasons like Schroer or Eigel)
It's shockingly high, I know.
The MO GOP has us pretty tightly gerrymandered and we're having a hell of a time getting rid of them.
I voted straight Blue ticket btw.
