Perhaps, number 2 is connected to, or the result of number 1. How can AZ support a huge influx of migrants over its southern border? How can AZ absorb all these migrants who don't speak English, often have no skills, have children, many of these migrants are in need of medical care, they don't have any money, or insurance. They need to be fed (EBT), their children will attend school and be educated for free, they will dilute the job market, which often brings down wages. If they live in poverty they are a risk for committing crimes in order to survive; they get free legal, and incarceration is expensive. They contribute to a drain on resources. Exacerbate concerns over dwindling water supply with increasing population.

Yep.

Oh yeah! One of those could blow your house down they are so bad! And they will wreck your roof if they don't blow it down. Ugh. Not looking forward to it!!

But, we'll see about summer. Maybe I'll tell them how hot it is & they'll stay away.

LOL...hey, I know you're one of those "Minnesota Nice folks" and happy to have you here to share the miseries! However, I suggest you invite others in August!

Sorry, couldn't rep you again.

I'm not sure August would work. I came to visit the last part of July I think & it didn't stop me.

Maybe September though. I found it a bit warm here in September, right after I moved here. September & October in Minnesota are gorgeous & they wouldn't like the heat. Um, that might not be a bad idea.

Sheesh, here it is, not even April & already I had to change from sweats to light pants & a tee shirt! Just how long does this hot weather last? It's already 76° for Pete's sake.

Next thing you know I'll have to turn on the fan! What a terrible place to live indeed.

Yeah, Sept. is still a bit "warm" but you wouldn't want them to miss witnessing one of our ferocious summer storms, would you?? If the heat didn't get them one of those might! lol You guys have way 'better' storms than we do up here most of the time. Up here I never have to pull off the road during a hard storm because I can't see the road!

You too, huh? I've had to get up and turn the ceiling fan on in the bedroom a couple of times already. I guess it's time to put away the flannel PJs. Got some nice over sized tee shirts ready to wear!
