  1. I the full clip it looks like he is talking about Charleroi PA. Haitian immigrants. “The immigrant population has grown in this community by over 2,000% in just the last two years, bringing new challenges for the school district.” https://www.wpxi.com/news/local/charleroi-area-school-district-sees-influx-immigrant-students-seeks-state-financial-help/DOTPCRE4KFBMTDOB6THUTCQBYE/
  2. Are you kidding? Just look at how they are ruining Dallas. Key findings: Immigrants in Dallas contributed billions in taxes and consumer spending. In 2022, immigrant households earned $10.7 billion in income, with $1.6 billion going to federal taxes and $900.6 million going to state and local taxes, leaving them with $8.2 billion in spending power that can be reinvested in local communities. Immigrants are helping the city meet its labor force demands. In 2022, immigrants made up 23.2 percent of the city’s population, yet accounted for 28.9 percent of the working age population and 28.4 percent of its employed labor force. Immigrants are working in fast-growing industries. Immigrants comprised 26.4 percent of STEM workers, 63.2 percent of construction workers, and 39.6 percent of manufacturing workers in 2022, contributing a wide array of skills in fast-growing industries. Immigrants play a significant role in the city’s entrepreneurs. Immigrants represented 38.9 percent of business owners in the city in 2022 despite making up 23.2 percent of the population. Immigrants support the federal safety net. In 2022, they contributed $1.1B to Social Security and $274.5M to Medicare. Language diversity is flourishing in Dallas. In 2022, 41.8 percent of all Dallas residents spoke a language other than English at home. As the demand for multilingual and culturally competent workers grows in the city, immigrants can help fill those jobs. https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/economic-impact-report-new-americans-dallas
