Odd that, the only people still talking about Charleroi are the people that have been pointing out that nothing notable is going down in Charleroi.



Almost like their claims are entirely unfounded..... huh.



That or I wonder why MAGAs have stopped being outraged about a small rust town in SW PA.... perhaps because there was nothing to be outraged about in the first place.

There's plenty of notable things going on in Charleroi right now

Sorry, I should had phrased it better. None of the crazy 'illegal immigrants invading small town in American' is going on contrary to what the lord and master claimed

This is what happens when you continuously feed lies to a cult of unhinged hyenas. They freak the fuck out about it for 48 hours, and then... nothing... because it was all bullshit to begin with.

Lather, rinse, repeat. And the country's collective IQ drops another couple points.

... So, the immigrants in Charleroi are NOT illegals??
I wanna make sure that I understand the point you're tryin' to make.

You have a mix of statuses. There's folks from over 40 countries.

Some are refugees with EAD's. Some are asylees with EAD's. Some are TPS with EAD's. These statuses are all legal. The EAD is the work authorization.

Given how long some have been have been in Charleroi, you also have some lawful permanent residents. This status is legal AND work authorized.

There's an investigation of a Fourth Street Foods contract labor supplier called Prosperity but its still ongoing. Likely they were employing some undocumented aliens but not on the scale that Trump or Chizzy or Bam would pretend is occuring.

Something to keep in mind. You can be in legal status but not have employment authorization. I expect that Prosperity played a smidge loose and started people before their EAD's came through. They take months to get after the application is submitted. Which is a nuance that you and Trump don't account for. It's also something that's deportable for the worker if they jump the gun. This number is expected to be small.

Prosperity should also be collecting SSN's for payroll. Paying the appropriate taxes. Those SSN's take about two weeks to get on avg. Filling out I-9 forms. Lots of potential opportunity for there to be fines and penalties from a variety of government agencies both state and federal. Including potential jail time.

But, back to the Haitians in Charleroi, we're not talking thousands of people. The estimate for the total number of Haitians is around 700. Unfortunately, Trumpy bear ran with the notion that there were 2k Haitians, but that's an estimate of the total population of foreign-born residents, not the Haitian pop.

They only added 125 foreign-born children to the K-5 pop and school system. And the total number runs well under what Devo expected.

... Then please explain what they are.

Bump, awaiting Salty's response
