Illegal immigration has had a huge impact on American small towns. Citizens feel like strangers in neighborhoods they’ve lived in for decades. Waves of foreigners have changed the landscape, culture, language and way of life for lifelong residents who’ve watched their towns turned into third world hellholes.
Norcross, Georgia is witnessing a transformation that
is bewildering. Invaders imbued with impertinence
and outright disrespect for American values has forced citizens to flee. Others, mainly the elderly, have no choice
but to stay and watch their neighborhoods turn into a National Geographic
special.
“Most of the
white people who are here have been here for 20 years,” explained James Bell,
64, speaking to a reporter outside a Kroger grocery store. “They have seen the
neighborhood change and a lot of them are angry about it.”
Bell, like
many others interviewed, said he distinguishes between immigrants who are
making an effort to fit into the existing culture and those who he thinks
aren’t trying to assimilate. The Vietnamese and the Koreans, he said, are at
least keeping to themselves.
“The Latinos
just throw it in your face. They’re here for the money. They don’t want to be
American,” Bell said. “They don’t care about America.”
He listed big changes that he’s noticed: More renters in the
neighborhood who seem to him to care little about the upkeep of their property,
single-family houses that he says are filled with multiple families, garbage bins
overflowing and litter in the streets.
There are
also the subtler things that get under his skin.
“You can see
them at the Kroger customer service center desk,” he said, saying that many of
his neighbors line up there to send money home to Mexico. It’s a flow of cash
leaving this little community, not building it.
And there’s
another annoyance, the kind of thing that isn’t a big deal but grates at him.
“That’s why there’s always a huge line at the service desk,” Bell said. “If you
want to buy a lottery ticket, good luck.”
This is what
the Democratic Party’s transformation of America looks like.
