I love the flip flops on never wanting to go there even to meet your dear friend... to meet me there if you dare and schoolyard taunts, fake bluster and wanting to host a board lunch in the place you won't go by yourself.
Made my whole night to foster that change.
Now, let's get down to brass tacks

More and more of the xenophobic narrative exposed for what it is. Bullshit.
We have the Senator calling bullshit on aeveral claims.
On Kamala bussing them (you guys are too much)
On them being illegals (zero proof. Meanwhile we have multiple folks in government disagreeing)
On them all being uneducated trash. (Look, professionals. That's why I recommend against absolutes)
On no one wanting to work. (Creating businesses. Hard working folks helping a guy reopen with enough workers to cover three shifts. Nice)
On driving businesses out (again, creating business. A shuttered one got to reopen).

This is not true. The business owner provides transportation for workers to get to & from his facility. These are not immigrants being bussed in by Kamala.I follow you & repost but you are playing into the hands of people who are jeopardizing the safety of innocent children in our local school. These Haitians are working hard, sending their children to school and opening businesses. They are here legally. They did not cross our border. Many are professionals who escaped horrific conditions in their home country. There was no workforce in Charleroi a few years ago when a business owner desperately needed them. He advertised and looked for workers for a long time. Before shutting down completely, he hired an agency that connected immigrants who were vetted and LEGAL to work in his facility. Instead of closing, he now has three shifts working around the clock. He also renovated multiple dilapidated apartment buildings and put them back on the tax roll for the town. He’s been vilified wrongly. Please, check the facts before posting information the jeopardizes the safety of good, hard-working people. Thank you.

Read her words. They echo the local leaders. They echo actual residents from other articles and coverage. No one thinks we're dealing with a fucking paradise in Charleroi. It hasn't been. It's been declining for decades. (It is just a stone skip across the river from Monessen after all)
Xenophobia. Fear of the foreign. Makes folks do and say some really stupid things.
Today we celebrate the Italians, Polish and Irish in Pittsburgh. All were feared, called strange and told to go back to their countries (more colorful words were used), that their cultures were wrong, that they were troublemakers who drove up crime. That they were lazy moochers.
We say we learn from history. Maybe we don't.
