Worth a watch. Good interviews with locals.

Some towns have gotten 50% bigger in less than 2 years as new people moved in. Schools and infrastructure were not prepared.

Why is this happening? And - as seen in the comments on this thread - why are you a racist if you ask about it?

To be clear: immigration is important, and necessary, but I had not heard or seen the impact that this huge surge of people have had on many small towns until I saw this.

If your reaction to someone asking this simple question is anger: that’s a problem. Feel free to treat me like an idiot and back up your opinion with data. Otherwise, I don’t understand why we should be obligated to treat this massive influx of people better than our own citizens. No other country does it.

    Yes! Fail to see what digging through my posts have to with anything? You also didn’t make a point

      This post is the opposite of all the things in bold that you said with such compassion for others.

        Not at all! You can give love and compassion and still ask why tens of thousands of new people are flooding into towns in a short time. Not mutually exclusive at all.

          New people you would like others to know need love and compassion like your grandparents or great grandparents needed when they were “new”?
