    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the episode, after the creation of the Bear Patrol, bear sightings decrease to zero, so Homer concludes that the Bear Patrol must be working. Lisa attempts to demonstrate Homer's logical fallacy by the example of a tiger-repellent rock, but it goes over his head. Scott Anthony of the Harvard Business Review describes this scene as a "classic example" of the informal fallacy of assuming that correlation implies causation. Mike Moffatt also called it "the best all-time discussion of faulty reasoning".
    • Goofs
      When Groundskeeper Willie says to the children, "You want to pick on immigrants? Then pick on Willie," there appears to be two Ralph Wiggums in the crowd of children.
    • Quotes

      [Homer helps Apu study for his naturalization exam]

      Homer: [pointing to an American flag] Now, can you identify this object?

      Apu: It appears to be the flag which disappeared from the library last year.

      Homer: Correct!

    Just Think About the Children
    Another look at our foibles. The Mayor blames immigration for any problems confronting Springfield. It all starts with a bear appearing in town. A bear patrol is formed. Then taxes are raised. And finally the aforementioned immigration. There are numerous cliches produced making this a pretty cool episode.
