Listen we are sympathetic to these videos but I’ll hate to admit it but 9/11 and the 2008 housing crisis has just changed the way the vast amount Americans feel towards outsiders. We got bombed out of the blue on 9/11 and then 8 yrs later we lost a lot of money to the banks and that has left a lot of ppl angry and this Trump is elected to make sure we don’t get screwed again

With such huge families to support on so little it makes you wonder what kind of future they hold in America as well.

It's a take care of your own family and business and not worry about others here.

shawn170204 ......stop paying taxes if you are againgst working together as a community... if your so againgst the idea of working together as a team .....pave your own roads !! stay of public property ! lol

[@shawn170204]

Dan Field working together as a community doesn't mean we need to support other families financially when families are already struggling themselves. It's a help yourself situation first before looking for help from others that are trying to stay a float. I pay taxes yes so I guess I'm already doing my part and that's about all they would get from me when it comes too working together as a community. P.S ~ I have as many children that I know I don't need to rely on others for help or donations even if I was to lose a job. How about you? Can you say the same? Most people can't. I was raised in a family knowing that if you can't look after your own don't have any kids. My parents were extremely strict about teaching my siblings and I about $ and what it takes to raise kids and support a family. It's sad that so many have to rely on others.

[@kansasthunderman1]

[@carolyndobry785]

Because Small Midwestern states want to die versify their population and make it less white so it’s faster to immigrate to those states. When I lived in Fargo as a child over the border in Minnesota there were a ton of refugees from Somalia and from Vietnam. In fact the Vietnamese lady who would cut my hair told us that her family was told that they could go to California in five years are coming to Minnesota right away.

[@carolyndobry785]

I should clarify that diversity in population is not about what you think. It’s good for Iowa because the white population is getting older and having less children. You need youth to survive. You either get that from your own population or you use Immigration. More then half those parents will Encourage higher education and build loyalty to the state that took them in.
