No such thing as an undocumented worker they are illegal aliens and if you are hiring them you are breaking the law.


What an odd thread. We have plenty of diversity via legal immigration. Actually, since most illegals are Mexicans and other Latinos how is that diversity?

Many of the Indians imported for cheap labor are concerned about their HB1 visa.

Not a bad thing.

Fewer Trump bumper stickers. Trumpers are peeling them off at night and pretending they didn't vote for Trump. Voter's remorse. Less diversity in that sense. No change otherwise.

I live in Louisiana and have previously lived in West Virginia. For the most part, white people in these places are as conservative and Republican as their reputation goes, but black and Hispanic people are not quite as liberal and Democrat as the media portrays them......I know quite a few minorities who have told me they supported Trump's policies and want Obamacare repealed. Of course these are more integrated blacks and more assimilated Hispanics. Also know many Hispanics who do consider themselves Americans first and are loyal to the US and want the border controlled.

The police feel more confident to do their jobs again compared to the Obama days. Especially in Baltimore the Freddie Gray case and the liberal media's and Hillary's support of the riots and BLM have forced them to do a hands off approach to the crime which has caused the homicides there to skyrocket last year. Economically there is more confidence now in Louisiana where oil and gas is big and in West Virginia where coal is king. It was definitely in our best interest for Trump to back out of the Paris treaty and to repeal some of Obama's anti-coal and anti-energy regulations. Some coal mines have opened back up in Appalachia and there are new petrochemical projects planned in Louisiana and next door in Texas too. We are also very glad that the Keystone XL pipeline will be constructed.

No impact where I live as far as I can see and we have a significant Hispanic population.

We never had a noticeable presence of illegals. We are getting just as many Asians, especially from India moving in. Some places, such as the Redmond WA Costco will have what seems like a majority of Indian people.

The Amish population has grown here a bit...farm land is cheap as always. The buggy hitches are always full at the Aldi's and WalMart and every other stand at the Farmer's Market is run by Amish. Number of African Americans pretty much unchanged...I work at the local junior/sr high school and we still count about 6 to 8 AA students at most in the 6 grades housed in the school. No Syrian refugees in the area. I don't think any of it has anything to do with the Trump presidency, though.

It's not the Trump diversity but the Obama bashing of good cops as well as creating and increasing hatred! When Obama started to defend people due to their color and openly accusing others while not having the facts, is when this country went down hill and sadly issues were created and throwing this country back decades!
