Secretary of State Michael Watson touches on proposal to use old casino for migrant housing
SUMMARY: Plans are underway to convert the old Hara Casino in Tunica County, Mississippi, into a housing facility for illegal immigrants. Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson expressed concerns about the federal government’s secretive handling of the issue, comparing it to a previous situation in New Albany where foreigners were obtaining legal documents. The proposed facility could house 1,000 to 2,000 minors over a five-year contract, potentially straining local infrastructure and law enforcement. Congressman Benny Thompson and Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith are involved, with Hyde-Smith seeking more details from the Department of Homeland Security. The issue has drawn significant local and statewide attention.
A plan involving the old Harrah’s Casino in Tunica County could see the former hotel and casino turned into a place to house migrant children.
