That number is a smokescreen. Really, it would not surprise me if the number were 75-100 Million...it is that bad! Look around at bus stops, look around at Wal Mart...hell, look just about anywhere....They are all around us.
Yep. There is a lot of construction going on up here right now, as a result of the Bakken and Three Forks oilfields, and I’m hearing more spanish at WalMart and in other stores than ever. Considering the huge influx of people from all over the country (probably one for everyone who is native to or a long-term resident of the area), it is no surprise that construction companies from the south are bringing them in, or that they are coming in on their own. We had some migrants who worked the sugar beet fields in the past, but nothing like this, and only a small sugar beet crop in the Missouri valley this year due to flooding.
And just what does Texas in-state tuition have to do with that ?
The local Wal-Mart near my house in Memphis is called Mexi-Mart by almost everyone I know. Memphis is in the center of the country and we are overrun with Mexicans. Why is this NOT a problem?
