I live in the Chicagoland area, and I hate the totally socialist government that is entrenched in this state. Everywhere you turn, you read about, hear and see the corruption, fraud, violence, the nanny state, third generation public aid families, “you owe me” attitude, baby mamas, “kids having kids” who make a career out of breeding and living on the dole, gangs killing each other and anyone else in their line of fire, punks roaming the Downtown area of Chicago and law-abiding citizens being “thugged” by these lowlifes, illegals overloading all resources, marching in protest and demanding that we give them a pass on immigration...my response would be “we don't owe you anything..get in back of the line and enter this country like every other LEGAL alien must do. Once lovely neighborhoods where people went to work, couples married and raised children, you could play on the sidewalk or at the park without fear, children went to public or parochial schools and there was a ritual to their lives that they followed. People went to church/synagogue and believed in the Ten Commandments and endeavored to live their lives by the golden rule.

Now you see advertising with Spanish translations under the slogans. If you live in the USA, you ASSIMILATE and learn English, you fly the flag of the country to which you pledge your allegiance and that is the United States of America. And yet these illegals spit in our faces, tear down our flags and fly their own and challenge us to do anything about it, because they feel no love for this country,and follow no rules that this country puts forth...they are illegals and they must be stopped and returned to their native country. Yet, the socialist govt. presently in power will not enforce the laws on the books and protects only “their own”..it's an uphill battle, true, but who said it would be easy?

But I digress...if it were not so hot (health issues) in Georgia or any other state that resembles the description you gave of your area, I would move there in a flash. Guess I'm going to have to make some decisions...align myself with like-minded people living in a “refuge in a time of a national storm” as you say, or remain in the state that once was a good place in which to live, but, sadly, not anymore. “These are the times that try men's souls” — so true.
