In a JCPenney store in South Dakota the other day, I heard a mother and daughter talking in English. That's it. Every other customer group was speaking some other language. We are not anywhere near the southern border, and we have miserably brutal winters, so I have to wonder what draws these folks who have no cultural, historical, geographical, or economic ties to this area.

They are purposefully planted in all States, that’s why. Our government is placing them wherever they want. Get used to it.

Immigrational Regional Equity; they get red carpet welcomes. If we didn't have a mass of working immigrants in CO then the Yuppy-Democrat Elitist Progressives wouldn't get any work done on their HOA covenanted homes, or have anyone to advocate for and craft policy toward except drug addicted slothful mal-educated types

I just had this conversation with someone who runs a cleaning service

She said the young people coming here have no desire to work hard- they’re told they can come here and make huge money- doing very little. She thinks that’s why they’re coming.

Well, housecleaning is hard physical work and she can’t keep the young girls. She said she’s lost more girls than she can count to…dance/strip clubs!

Because they can work fewer hours and make more money … and maybe catch a man in the process

Dark times.

We live 60 miles from NYC. When we watch the news, EVERY PERSON they interview has an accent and/or can barely speak English! WTH? Do they deliberately stay away from people who are fluent in English, or is this done to prove that NYC is still a melting pot? One would think that everyone who lives in or around NYC is a foreigner. Happens after every incident where they interview the people who live in those neighborhoods....What’s the point?

I remember London in 1980 where despite some foreigners, it was still primarily ethnically English. Fast forward to 97 and it was a different city with only the architecture reminding you of where you were

Oh I definitely know that! Many very fine thinkers from the South! I also love the variety of accents in this or any other country, it gives a richness and texture to speech that I appreciate so much!!

And I really like your parenthetical comment, it is so true, and I’ve come to really despise those who mock the people they consider beneath them, like those toothless and/or illiterates you mentioned. They might not be well read or articulate or what most would consider attractive, but many of those people have good sense and hard won wisdom earned from life experiences. Far worse are the so-called educated who can’t even think for themselves but just parrot what others say.

They are assigned to certain areas to turn them blue. Is your state one of the 15 giving them driver's licenses which automatically registers them to vote, or like Houston Texas, they are paid a universal basic income (Uplift Harris) or your local Catholic Charities has sponsored them into your town.

Expand full comment
DEBORAH E. dds's avatar

(Uplift Harris) is supplying a universal basic income? I am intimately aware with a certain Houston religious group funding healthcare clinics (medical and dental) where no and low cost healthcare is provided to "refugees" and you cannot imagine the Texas Code of Rules and Regulations along with the U.S. Code that has been written to provide everything a person needs to live a wonderful and 100% parasitic life in ease and comfort. I will definitely investigate Uplift Houston and thank you for that information.

Regarding auto-voter registration: Texas is not one of the states that allows non-citizens to possess a driver's license, that should be illegal; as well should be automatically registering to vote. Those 2 practices when combined would constitute direct governmental fraud, election meddling, true insurrection. Not an insurrection from the Uniparty war room, who now holds persons in jail as domestic terrorists for the crime of attending a peaceful protest of an obviously stolen Presidential Election.

Nothing Dakota and Michigan are two of the states offer Drivers Licenses to Non Citizens. UpLift Harris is in Harris county and working directly with Catholic Charities and Houston Interfaith Ministries giving them phones and paying them on apps. They get state and local benefits like about their age to get into school

Ilhan Omar just posted on her twitter account yesterday that "every American should have a guaranteed income to meet their basic needs like food, healthcare and housing" which means to me she thinks the taxpayer should fund the lives of every single deadbeat in the US. She doesn't seem to care if they have clothing. This is the evil and more-than-ignorant mentality we are up against.

I heard a talk by a local police dept spokesman, and he kept extolling the virtues of Lutheran Social Services (https://lsssd.org - separate entity from the church) in bringing in and acclimating immigrants. They receive government grants to do this.

Lots of Christian charities do this.

It makes me angry.

On the one hand, as Christians, we're called to care for the orphan, widow and the needy. On the other hand, does that mean if our government brings all the widows, orphans and needy and drops them on our doorstep, we're required to care for them all? How is that right? Are these people not the least bit responsible for their own lives? Not caring for them could lead to their death and I believe that man is made in the image of God and therefore worthy of care. But I don't understand how the orphans, widows and needy breaking the law makes them my responsibility. Or any other Christian's responsibility.

Before the government crammed all the orphans, widows and needy down our throats, churches used to send out groups of missionaries to help the orphans, widows and needy in their own lands. I guess that's just not good enough anymore.

Honestly, that shocks me that Lutheran Social services is completely divorced from the Lutheran Church. Was it ever associated? My husband is Lutheran and we don't attend due to, now it appears, our false belief that they are instrumental in support of lawless border and the liberal transexual agenda. Were we wrong?

The churches are 100% responsible for the MAP pedo agenda and Im in shock at how many Christians didn't hold their leaders accountable to stop this madness 50 years ago. If people stop giving to the church when all the pedo stuff came out, I don't think they would have done this with the trans movement

IMHO, yes, you are wrong. You go to church to hear the word of God...to grow closer to him. The churches do not send people here, they help those who are here because they are God’s children. Our government is the problem and these people crossing are pawns in a bigger game...though I do believe that there is a lot of evil people who intend harm crossing too.

I have noticed that for several years the high number of people speaking in another non-english language in my N GA area. In fact, at the farmers market there was a lady next to me, looked mid to upper class, speaking just a little English, and used medicaid coins to buy fresh basil. I thought, wow, where is she from and why is she receiving Medicaid assistance?

I couldn’t see them closely enough but they really looked more like paper wood coins. The vendor I commonly see on Saturdays at the market, I asked him what they were after she left as I was the next customer after her. He told me. So I don’t know the terms and called it Medicaid, meaning govt assistance to very poor folks.

I understand where you are coming from and agree with your take for the most part, just a word of caution on making assumptions—more and more people are choosing to raise their children to be bilingual and may just be speaking in their “family”/minority language. This is my case and the case of several of my family and friends. But we also make sure our kids know English (actually unless you segregate yourself in a specific community, it’s almost impossible for them not to, in fact full and balanced bilingualism is very difficult to achieve). I am sure people in stores hearing me speak to my kids in another language have often thought we were non English speaking recent immigrants, when that is completely not the case.

I am in central Florida so not near Miami which I would expect, it's either rednecks or non English speaking people. I literally have to ask someone if they speak English if they don't have a baseball cap and jeans on. I lived in England for 20 years and probably 60% were non English. Everyone spoke English. What annoys me is how they expect services to speak to them in their language, so you can't get a job unless you are bilingual locally - they need to be forced somehow to learn English. This is bad for our schools and workplaces
