Comment on what is going on with the huge influx of immigrants into our small towns?

  We are allowed to talk about it.

    “you are allowed to talk about it, but we won’t give you a straight answer. You’re a racist for asking what’s going on.”

      New jobs are created in town, intentionally, which are filled by immigrants because they are mobile and seeking employment. End of story.

      The questions you are asking probably have underlying racist assumptions like “who put them there” or “why are we allowing them to take over our towns”

        Thank you for your answer! My understanding is: these jobs are not offered equally to US citizens. And they do not pay a fair wage.

        If someone assumes a question is racist, the responsibility is on them to clarify if that is indeed the case.
