Chain Migration Comes to Hazleton: The working-class Pennsylvania city is struggling [tr]
City Journal ^ | June 11, 2018 | Charles F. McElwee

As you depart Manhattan on the George Washington Bridge, a brief interval on I-95 takes you to Exit 69 for I-80, the access point to New Jersey’s third-largest city, Paterson, and ultimately to the Delaware Water Gap, a geologically arresting gateway to Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains. Following Pennsylvania’s toll bridge, you’ll pass billboards for resorts, outlet stores, and chain restaurants along a highway lined by hemlocks, mountain laurel, and birch trees. Westward, all road signs direct drivers toward Hazleton, a small city located near the crossroads of I-80 and I-81, one of the East Coast’s busiest intersections for truck traffic.

In just 2 decades Hazleton, PA went to 50% Hispanic, mainly Dominicans from NYC. They make money off welfare and drugs. Hazleton sits at the intersection of I-80 heading east-west and I-81, running north-south making it an ideal site for drugs transportation across the US.

Money quote: “People of Hazleton have to realize we are going to keep pouring in,” he told the Standard-Speaker. “If not they have to learn we are just as free as they are. They can’t deny us anything. They have to start dealing with us. If they don’t deal with us, push has come to shove, and we’ll deal with them like in New York City.”

Colonization.

When the West does this it’s a “bad thing”.

From Wikipedia:

2000
Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.15% of the population.

2010
Hispanic or Latino of any race were 37.3% of the population. Almost all of the population growth in Hazleton (from 2000 to 2010) consisted of Hispanics and Latinos.[25]

Aida Gell, 45, has her own business, a driving school, and her own house, not to mention the satisfaction of seeing Hazleton change.

“Now,” she said, “it’s more better.”

The answer determines whether I sympathize or wish good luck to both sides.

Lol, I just recently got out of Afghanistan and got stationed in Japan with a company I’m working with and if they even said that here they would get ran out so fast it would not be funny.

In just 2 decades Hazleton, PA went to 50% Hispanic, mainly Dominicans from NYC. The Dominicans make money (A) sucking-up US welfare, and, (B) pedaling drugs. Hazleton's highways make it an ideal site for drugs transportation across the US. “People of Hazleton have to realize we are going to keep pouring in,” one Dominican told the Standard-Speaker. “If not they have to learn we are just as free as they are. They can’t deny us anything. They have to start dealing with us. If they don’t deal with us, push has come to shove, and we’ll deal with them like in New York City.”

THE GIMME ZOMBIES Even non-political Dominican Republic travel brochures belittle the impoverished do-nothing Caribbean Third World satrap---noting that the do-nothing govt provides no social safety nets for its largely impoverished citizenry. The cunning Dominican govt survives on billions of our tax dollars from its illegal residents here---riding the US gravy train---wire-transfer back home.

And why arent US narcs being sicced on these arrogant latino lawbreakers?

NJ BERGEN RECORD CIRCA 2004---Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity (latinos establish multiple identities in order to ride the US gravy train).

The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses----for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said NJ state police.

The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot.

The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. After a search, police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards. ####

It’s been Republican for at least the last 19 years.

Joe Yannuzzi is the current mayor and Lou Barletta, who just won the Republican primary for Senator, was mayor for 11 years before him.

Hazelton is the hometown of Congressman Lou Barletta who got elected to the house as a Republican. He is now running for U.S. Senate against do nothing, good for nothing, ObaMao puppet Bob Casey, Jr.

Lou is the real deal. Any Freepers who can spare a few bucks should donate here.

LOL, hope the fool (totally selfish person) who told me almost 2 decades ago how great Hazelton was to live in due to it’s updated roadways and infrastructure is enjoying being overrun by all these necomers that don’t give a crap about the town or country.
