Missouri lawmaker proposes bounty system to report migrants
A bill introduced and sponsored by Republican legislators in the Missouri Senate would give residents a $1,000 payout for reporting migrants who entered the country illegally.

This bounty is going to backfire. I’m just gonna call them and report every fast food place in the phone book and take in the cash. Does it say the claim needs to lead to an arrest? Probably not.
Sounds like a good idea until you consider the fact that you'd be subjecting a bunch of people already working ridiculous hours at a crappy job for below a living wage to a lot of harassment.
And that's if you DON'T get someone deported. Which is highly unlikely, since the fast food industry is probably the second-largest employer of undocumented immigrants after agriculture..
So maybe DON'T do that.
But I’ll be rich, and then I can leave this place. Besides, whatever task force is doing this will be overwhelmed. Remember when Utah had that website to report trans bathroom use? It was flooded with bogus claims to clog their system.
Either way, I seriously doubt they actually plan to PAY out. I have to imagine there’s a ton of paperwork that never gets finished.
