US of A Immigration

 

Most people in East TN don't give a rat's ass about legal or illegal immigration...  as migrants have been flocking into this area to work the farms for the last 30 years that I have been living here.  So much so, that many of the retail stores have directions in both English and Spanish and the local cable companies have numerous Spanish speaking stations.

You can always tell where the immigrants are living because the house has a dozen or more cars parked out in front of it...  the grass is seldom mowed...  there are no bushes, plants, or trees in the yards...  and, trash it littered all around the house...  

This is not to say that the inside of the house is just like the outside, but with all those cars out front, there is a good possibility that multiple families are living inside.  The water and sewer is not set up to handle that many occupants...  but, local law enforcement does not do anything...

Other than that, my wife and I very seldom see migrants except maybe inside Walmart...  but, they very seldom eat in any of the local restuarants that are not fast food places.

In addition to working the farms, immigrants work in the home construction industry and their primary focus is dywall, painting, brick or cinder block layers, roof installation and repair.  There are very few electricians, plumbers, or carpenters.

Outside of those observations, immigration is never on the minds of people in this area.  If they are here, they are ignored as they ignore us.

Everyone here that I have spoken with is against all the illegal immigration at our southern border, but since it is not in our back yards, we don't really give a shit about it.

We are concerned that these immigrants are bringing in diseases with them and probably none of them have had all the childhood shots that Americans are required to get...  but, until their is an outbreak of something, that is of no concern as well.

LIVE AND LET LIVE
