what is going on with the huge influx of immigrants into our small towns? (youtu.be)

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.

Thank you for your answer! My understanding is: these jobs are not offered equally to US citizens. And they do not pay a fair wage.

If someone assumes a question is racist, the responsibility is on them to clarify if that is indeed the case.

I dont have info on the quality of these jobs but I doubt that they are paying slave wages. One of the big employers in springfield is a Honda vehicle assembly plant for example.
