The race card was thrown very early in the article by the writer. If you read the article the only individuals mentioning race are the writer/reporter and the various advocates for the unaccompanied minors who by definition do not have legal immigration status.

The owners of that plant are placing the burden on the people of their town. The owners of the chicken processing plant are fat cat parasites, paying illegals pennies and placing the burden of paying for schooling on the townspeople. The owner gets away with it. Time and time again.

If the chicken processing plant only hired legals, the illegals wouldn't be flocking to the town.
Of course, if the plant was shut down then illegals would leave and presumably there would be a tremendous population outflow. I wonder what the economic impact of 50% of a local population vanishing virtually overnight would be?

I bet Mr. School Bus Driver in the article might rethink his position when he gets laid off due to lack of students in the district and has no other local employment options because local businesses are also laying people off due to lack of demand. With no illegal immigrant bogeymen around to blame, will he just angrily shake his fist at the sky?

You didn't read the article did you? His main employment isn't with the school system/bus contractor.

It says he has 50 years of farming experience, but I did not see a mention of some other form of current employment. Regardless, my point was aimed at the wider economy in the area not at this particular individual per se. I just used him as an example to illustrate it.

WTH are you talking about? He made it sound like white residents were making the statement and I corrected him by saying it was the social activist.

Where did I post that it was okay to say?

Funny, how this town was doing just fine before these illegal aliens kids were placed in them. In fact much better. If a town can't survive without breaking immigration and labor laws then they need to die anyway. Americans can always move on to other towns that aren't overwhelmed with illegal aliens and there would be more job prospects.

Gross thread with gross opinions about more gross people doing gross things against minority groups due to gross fear mongering. Yeah, that checks out.

Your neighbors pay property taxes that fund the school. You're comparing apples with oranges.

We don't have unlimited funds. Our money should be going toward our own citizens - not criminals who don't want to wait their turn to come here legally.

I get that you don't care about Americans living on the street, but the rest of us do.

He's probably in his 70's and retired. Do you have a problem with that?

Illegal aliens tend to have large families and many live two or three families to a household so no, they aren't paying their fair share of property taxes to support our schools where's there are a lot of kids involved.
