It is really problematic when you have 5,000 moving into a town with 10,000 people though.  Easy to see why people would get a bit bent out of shape about that.  I still bet that practice can be traced back to the Biden administration somehow anyway.

Sounds like it was driven by capitalism... that is where factories needed workers.

 People should be making less. As a business owner, I don't want to waste money on employees when I could be investing in my success. I am all for outsourcing, offshoring, and automation, as that it the most efficient means to use capital. If someone is concerned about their wage, well, then they can go make more money. It isn't that hard.

Your last two sentences are often true.  The first part is kind of obtuse though.

Still a problem for that town though logistically speaking.

Of course most bomb threats are hoaxes.  Virtually all of them.  But it still causes fear and closes schools and makes people's live more difficult.  And obviously we know there are nut jobs who pick up a gun and take matters into their own hands.   Toxic rhetoric is dangerous.

I always ask my employees how much they could cut in their wages and still be ok. You'd be surprised at the response. Also those striking at Boeing should be ashamed of themselves. Boeing needs to do the right thing and relocate fully to South Carolina. If you're in a union, you should be in prison.

You are Anti American and hate white people, at least that is what my LLM says when I feed it all of the responses from this forum to anything you post.

This was already posted.    And I responded above.    Toxic rhetoric and using people as pawns for political purposes in this case is dangerous and disruptive for everyone in that town.    Its a powder keg there now... KKK put out fliers this weekend in Springfield.

From our interactions on here I know you in particular have a good heart. That’s why I try to argue against what I see as xenophobia and share resources to learn more about these other cultures (most of the time, I’m learning for the first time too!) That might sound preachy lol, but I did enjoy the moment when we are all talking about Haitian Vodou, I honestly knew nothing about that last week.

If these are accurate it is a shift for Harris, but this is only one poll.  538 has that state Harris +0.6 compared to Biden + 4 point something in 2020.

Very few have showed Trump up in PA.  I like that!  Looks like it's a dead heat which means Trump is way up vs 2020.

VP Harris has a 6% lead among likely voters in a new MORNING CONSULT poll released today. The Democrat friendly pollster notes this is a 2% shift since before the debate.

People have the right to choose where to live…there is no law saying that legal immigrants can’t all move to a given city or town if that’s where the jobs they want are. It’s nothing new…America has always grown in population this way. And how do we remember those who tried to run immigrants out of town in the past? Not well. 

There’s no “right” to behave the way they are. It’s disrespectful and ingratiating. You respect and adapt = integration into the social fabric. Blue dog Democrats used to recognize this as recently as 20 years ago. Now that they’re all about tearing down western civilization. Little wonder they are deaf and disrespectful to an established micro-culture of a given area. 


Besides, the legality of this protected status is dubious. Good grief, isn’t loving one’s country acknowledging it has sovereign borders? That it has a people and a culture to protect? I’ll head this off at the pass, but loving the alien is assisting in the integration with those who are grateful and want to be integrated. In fact, it’s loving to one’s family to kick these law-breakers out. So no, America’s population hasn’t always grown this way. I’m not meaning to insult your intelligence. But you and others come across with this simplistic, one-dimensional notion of immigration = good all the time. Both things can be true: there’s a method of immigration that’s healthy and immigration  tears apart communities.
