    Kinda doxxing myself a bit but we actually don’t have that many migrants in MS. Most of the ones I have seen as well tend to work family businesses and they migrated way before the new wave of immigration.

      2% of MS population is people in first generation in the US, mostly people from Central America

        First generation doesn’t mean migrant. Migrants cross the border to work but live in their home nation.

            “Migrant worker” has a specific meaning.

            This is not a hot take by me. This is just you not knowing what words mean

              You didn’t say “migrant worker,” you said “migrant.” All words have specific meaning, that’s not a hot take either.

                If only you had the context of an entire comment chain to pull from

                  The chain starts off talking about children. A lot of children commuting internationally to MS these days? Are we granting work visas to children all of a sudden? Clearly no one in this thread is working from the same definitions, but that’s actually how language works. Specificity is key if you don’t want to be misunderstood.

        About 45 minutes out, I actually go to Hattiesburg pretty often too.
