I was sitting in a local not-so-fast-food burger restaurant when 4 large, black, non-descript passenger vans pulled into the parking lot. Some older white men got out ahead of about 40 young Mexican men who disembarked and were lined up outside the building. One of the older guys, who were all wearing dark blue and polo shirts with what looked like some sort of small law enforcement logo on the breast, came into the building first. As the young guys entered and walked past him, he was telling them all to "just say number 3 combo, say number 3 combo..." It was the cheapest thing on the menu that wasn't a child's meal. It was evident they were being coached because they didn't know English. They all looked apprehensive and many were wearing the same shorts, sandals, and socks, but different shirts. All looked to be older teens to early twenties. This happened in my small red town, coming soon to a theater near you. All the patrons just sat and watched silently in disbelief. Our government is not working for us, they are working against us.

Check out “Our Town” by This American Life. I know it’s NPR and they suck, but it’s about Albertville Alabama and the 50% illegal immigrant population that came to work for the Tyson Chicken plant.
This has been going on in rual America for decades.
Yes it has. The same happens in Arkansas.
