1. It happened in our county

The Border Patrol harassed Hispanic people so badly many left the area. They were legally here but all it took was brown skin to have the BP spend the day staring at them through binoculars where they worked, shopped, and lived.

The nursing homes had to contract with an employment agency in a city, for workers 60 miles away. They probably needed housing assistance because our area has a severe housing shortage. Their wages were higher and the nursing homes had to pay a fee for every hour their employees worked. The fees for the nursing home residents likely went up.
