Agreed. I live in Athens, AL and we are covered in hispanics. 20 years ago there were almost none. I won't say they are all illegal, but I would bet that 90% are.
We have a chicken processing plant and several plant nurseries that bring them in by the dozens.
Maybe the sheriff will start apprehending the illegals (kind of a reciprocity agreement between the two countries).
Our sheriff(Blakely) has repeatedly stated that it's not his job to apprehend illegals,so I doubt he'll start now.I'll agree though,we have gotten a huge influx of illegals.I routinely see them at the nurseries and working for other landscape companies.
You can bet that Chad will be taking more of an interest in them.
Agree about Athens - lived there from 89 to 95 and the mexican population has absolutely exploded since we lived there. Unfortunately, it isn't much better here in Helena.....
