The only downside I see in the booming economy in Texas
is all the New York, Illinois, Michigan, etc. license plates
I see on the road here in Houston. We’re being invaded by
the slum rats that fouled their own nest and are moving to
greener pastures to foul.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but:
New York, Illinois, and Michigan are all beautiful places that are stuck with a giant urban hellhole.
I think it's likely that most of the transplants come from parts of those states not named Detroit, Chicago, or NYC.
“We’re being invaded by the slum rats that fouled their own nest and are moving to greener pastures to foul.”
I see the same thing in ND, about every other license plate is from a different state. With this the crime rate is going up in places like Williston.
But most of them are the ones that want to work, many listen to Rush Limbaugh and tend to vote Republican.
The typical slum rat of a democrat run city has no reason to go where the work is.
