A government report released this week shows that enormous walls, rabid coon-hunting dogs, venomous snakes, and other obstacles erected by the Arkansas Immigration Department are doing little to prevent hundreds of unaccompanied Missourian children from illegally crossing the border into Arkansas.

The immigration department’s controversial response to the crisis has been met with criticism from residents of both states. In a recent poll, 100 percent of Missouri residents and nearly 60 percent of Arkansas residents said they opposed the use of tetanus and dangerous animals to deter the children.

The migrant children who have made it past Scaggs’ security measures are largely being shunned by communities along the border. Many of the angered residents have suggested that the children should be shipped to Sugar Loaf Mountain, an island in the middle of Arkansas’ Greers Ferry Lake, but this would directly interfere with Sen. Jason Rapert’s plan to use the island for an LGBTQ containment area.

Until permanent arrangements can be made to house the young immigrants, they are staying in tents in state parks. This decision has sparked the rage of many Arkansas parents who say that the government should pay for their children to live in makeshift shanty towns before giving the same opportunity to immigrants.

4. The Arkansas Times is so good..

I Love Brummetts comment:

Note the weasel words "financially supported." Griffin presumably would vote for Mauch over Jesus, were Jesus to run in the party to which his philosophy is most naturally inclined these days, the Democrats. Of course, as Mauch tells us, Jesus condoned slavery, too.
