Worth a watch. Good interviews with locals.

Some towns have gotten 50% bigger in less than 2 years as new people moved in. Schools and infrastructure were not prepared.

Why is this happening? And - as seen in the comments on this thread - why are you a racist if you ask about it?

To be clear: immigration is important, and necessary, but I had not heard or seen the impact that this huge surge of people have had on many small towns until I saw this.

If your reaction to someone asking this simple question is anger: that’s a problem. Feel free to treat me like an idiot and back up your opinion with data. Otherwise, I don’t understand why we should be obligated to treat this massive influx of people better than our own citizens. No other country does it.

    Why aren’t we allowed to talk about? Said while talking about it… and fucking interviews too? You’re right that’s silencing 🤡

      I hadn’t heard about any of this until now. And I mean, check the comments of anyone who talks about it. “You’re racist if you ask why this is happening”
