As soon as Aida Gell moved here in 2006 with her two young sons, she wondered if she had made a mistake. Born in the Dominican Republic, she had immigrated in 1987 to Westchester County, N.Y., where she drove a bus. But this old coal city had housing she could afford and a growing Latino presence. --snip-- The population of this Luzerne County city has held steady at about 25,000. But the Latino portion has surged from 4.9 percent in 2000 to about 46 percent today. A veteran police official estimated 10 percent are undocumented.
What happened here?

The kids love it. They don’t have to learn AMERICAN HISTORY in school anymore.
"Now," she said, "it's more better."
I was born there in the late 40’s. I still go back to visit friends. The city has become a real sewer. The city is a crossroads for the heroin trade and the crime is off the charts.I follow a web site Hazleton News 1 and its’ depressing to read the stories. It was such a wonderful place to grow up.
I’ve dealt with Cozen O’Connor before; the “subrogation kings.” It’s a Philly parasite law firm. We had depositions in Michigan on a multi-million dollar warehouse loss. One of the attorneys for another party said the Cozen O’Connor attorney might be a bit hungover for the deposition, since he’d dropped several hundred dollars for booze and lap dances at the local strip club the night before.
This town could stand as a symbol of the ongoing Third World” conquest; aka “ he Transformation of America.”
That reminds me, I just brought three very old history books on ebay. One was printed in 1898 - I think. Anyway, they are school books for younger students, and should be very interesting. We have one such book, a “First Geography” book published in 1862, which is rather like a history book more than straight geography. I am stunned by what the children were expected to learn and comprehend back then as I guarantee that now not one in one hundred students in university would know one tenth of what is in that little book.
This is happening in NJ as well; whole towns are becoming very Hispanic as childless Americans flee the high costs & unemployment here, and the government traffics Third Worlders here to keep the housing, classrooms, and store aisles full (with other peoples’ tax dollars redistributed to the new “clients”). Richer areas just get Asians instead...
I know exactly what you mean. This has been a hot topic with me lately. American History seems to “offend” everybody living in our country these days and must be shunned. All the anti-American communists insist that to control a population, you must take away their history and their national identity. I was reading an article about a Native American who is currently serving in the military. It was all about how important her history, her heritage and cultural identity was and that it must be passed down to her children. She was praised in the article about how important and wonderful that was. If I had written that article about me, it would be branded as racist. Double standard.
Those who forget the past (history),
are destined to repeat the past (errors).
Exactly right. We’ve been heading down that road and are already making the same mistakes over again.
And "COMMON CORE" program of eduction is an extension of that same ignorance of common American history
since it was written in Qatar by Muslims , and funded by Bill Gates ,
and controlled by the Obama administration of centralized FED.gov administration
and we wonder why it is so anti-American history, pro-Islamic lessons, taught by pro-Socialistic teachers !
There is nothing pro-American about history , self-realization, or common sense in Commone Core programming !
