Couldn’t help but notice from one of the maps that Mississippi stands alone on the South for having one of the fewest illegal populations - another plus for my adopted home (came here in ‘86 on AF assignment and never left). They did import a bunch to help in the Katrina aftermath and those who were here were hard workers, but remained under close supervision vs. being turned loose.
Fortunately, where I live in cold Wisconsin (at least in the winter), we do not have a great number of illegals, at least not away from Milwaukee and Madison. We have yet to experience the violence and lawlessness some of them might bring. The migrants who are here are hard working and thus far, seem to be honest people. They have assimilated in our schools and community. Guess we can say, “So far, so good”.
