[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been recent articles about the influx of migrants into small towns, such as Whitewater, Wisconsin. Those of you denying there is any negative impact on U.S. citizens need your heads examined. “Springfield, Ohio, isn’t the only small Midwestern city dealing with an unprecedented influx of migrants and the strain it places on municipal services. Whitewater, Wis., Police Chief Daniel Meyer started noticing increased encounters between his officers and recently arrived migrants from Nicaragua and Venezuela in early 2022. Mr. Meyer estimates that at least 1,000 migrants from Central America established themselves in the city of 15,000 in 2022 and 2023. Officials in Whitewater, about an hour west of Milwaukee, have had difficulty managing the stresses on law enforcement, housing stock and schools. With no advance warning from the federal government, the city was caught completely unprepared by the migrant influx. The proliferation of overcrowded living spaces shared by people who are unrelated has resulted in a spike of domestic and sexual assault claims to Whitewater police. An investigation into the alleged kidnapping of a minor revealed that a migrant had held the girl against her will for three days. She claimed the man choked and hit her while pointing a gun at her head. Latin American gangs have also arrived in Wisconsin. Earlier this month a woman was sexually assaulted in Prairie du Chien by a suspected member of Tren de Aragua, the violent criminal organization born a decade ago in Venezuela’s prisons. Whitewater police have determined that Nicaraguan members of the Salvadoran gang MS-13 are present in the city. Cops have seized almost a quarter million dollars of cartel funds as part of various investigations. The nation’s broken immigration system is placing an unmanageable burden on local governments. Federal assistance is often unavailable or insufficient. Whitewater has sought state help, including from the governor’s office, but officials in Madison prefer to keep the meetings low-profile to avoid press coverage. With so much money flying out the door, the Whitewater police and school district are considering referendums to authorize an increase in property taxes to cover operational expenses in spring 2025. Congress and the White House need to secure the border. State and local governments need to know that a clear process exists for removing violent migrants from their communities. To the extent that migrants have legally settled somewhere, towns and cities like Whitewater need the resources to offset the strain on basic public services like policing and education.” https://www.wsj.com/opinion/how-the-migrant-crisis-strains-municipal-services-in-a-small-city-midwest-whitewater-wisconsin-central-americans-75b6be5f?st=L59Qsi&reflink=article_copyURL_share And a letter to the editor from a Whitewater resident: In Jacob Curtis’s article detailing the challenges the huge influx of migrants is posing to my little town (“How the Migrant Crisis Strains Whitewater, Wis.,” Cross Country, Sept. 28), the biggest challenge went largely unremarked. According to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, in addition to the number of special-needs students, the number of economically disadvantaged and English-learner students in a district is the biggest driver of educational outcomes. Migrant children almost always fall in both of these latter two categories. As a result, what used to be an above-average school district in a university town has seen the biggest drop in educational achievement in the state for larger districts. We are in the bottom 17% and falling, driving many parents, including even some on the school board, to enroll their kids elsewhere. [b]To put it mildly, it’s frustrating to hear politicians imply we are racist xenophobes for our concern over what’s happening to our schools. No doubt most of these politicians ensure their own kids don’t see a classroom with even one English learner. They make up half of some of our classrooms. [/b] Henri Kinson [/quote] And Trump will fix this how?[/quote] he won't make it worse like Harris remember what Biden did In his first 100 days in office, Biden signed more than 60 executive actions, 24 of which are direct reversals of Trump’s policies. Biden has defended the number as necessary to undo what he considers “bad policy” inherited from Trump, especially on immigration. To date, 10 of his 12 actions on immigration are reversals of Trump’s policies. “And I want to make it clear — there’s a lot of talk, with good reason, about the number of executive orders that I have signed — I’m not making new law; I’m eliminating bad policy,” Biden said as he signed a series of actions on immigration from the Oval Office on February 2. “What I’m doing is taking on the issues that — 99% of them — that the president, the last president of the United States, issued executive orders I felt were very counterproductive to our security, counterproductive to who we are as a country, particularly in the area of immigration.” 04/16/2021 Topic: Immigration Type: Memo Reversal: Yes Reverses the Trump policy banning refugees from key regions and enables flights from those regions to begin within days.
