Be very, very afraid. NBC5 doesn’t cite any source except unnamed “experts,” so the numbers are highly suspect, but the gist of the story is that Oklahoma has gotten tough and California is shedding jobs, so immigrants are moving to Texas. That, I take it, is a Bad Thing. So be careful out there. After all, one person quoted in Lisa Beck’s story says, “All they want is to work.” See that! They’re after your job! Don’t let them have it!
Aside: The top of the page on the NBC5 site a banner reads: “Locals are thrilled about hot magazine spreads.” We’re thrilled locals are thrilled. The November issue is on sale now. Show your thrill by buying one.
Por supuesto!
Ah, the American Dream. The illegals are the ones that have it anymore it seems. They seem to be the only ones that really believe that hard work conquers all.
At least its alive somewhere.
LOL. I thought Republican party operative Mike Snyder had lost his influence over this station.
We had about three homes on our block chock full of illegals causing problems for everyone (this can be around 30 to 40 folks in three single family homes – and others are coming and going at all hours — and there were almost as many cars). Now two of those houses are vacant and there seem to be only five or six left at the other house.
Good ol’ D magazine. Where people think comments have to be moderated, but people entering the country don’t.
I live far out in the country now… and can attest that the Mexican Nationals who WERE living in the area, have now gone back to Mexico… as the decline in the local economy meant there are no jobs around… for ANYONE.
The rent houses have all emptied, and in some cases, now have for sale signs on them.
Even the WalMart has reduced the “Hispanic” food products it was carrying.
This small area has now lost it’s gardeners, farm hands, and repairmen… as well as the hundreds that worked every year for the local bakery.
I DEFY anyone to tell me this is a good thing… as there are no available bodies to fill those jobs… or a market to use their services.
