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.
Great way to hide the bigotry. “It’s about town growth guys, not hate, I promise.”
The accusations of racism and bigotry are unfounded. If you watch the video, all the locals are not racist at all. If you read my post, I challenge you to find anything racist or bigoted.
Many people are asking what’s happening with the population change in their towns, and why. And getting no answers. Just, “you’re racist for asking.” Suspicious and argued in bad faith.
