Charleroi

The Magic City is no longer. Was the hub of the valley. At one
point it was the third largest retail town based on per capital in PA . Cougars

The efforts to end TPS for the Haitians remains blocked, a block that was upheld by a federal appeals court.

Charleroi coverage has picked back up. Some good reading

With the SC ruling that CHNV can be ended some folks in Charleroi will need to go in the near future.

Got that, MAGA? Haitians saved Charleroi. Whatever kind of "shithole" you want to portray the town as being would be much worse without these Haitian immigrants. Anyone who actually believed they were "eating the cats and eating the dogs" is a terminally stupid, racist cunt.

... Hmmmm... Blimey! ... Good for them... Thanks for saving the towne.

... They can be DEPORTED now. ... ... ...

The problem with your theory is that, non Americans entered the country with a caveat from the government, and your saved Corning story is false because Corning left before your precious Haitians were deported.

So, now that they are jobless, who pays for their free government cheese?

80 MILLION people on Medicaid, how many illegals, when 20 percent of the country is living on other people's income?

But please tell me the long range plan for Sharla Roy now that Corning has left?

How will the Haitians step up and build the infrastructure Sharla Roy needs to replace?

Answer is, they can't.

Nor could the people who lived on Penn Avenue, up near Children's, who had to buy from Jewish grocers in the 70s, Koreans in the nineties, Indians in the 2Ks, and Pakis in the 2010s.

Im only being honest, each generation made money by working 18 hours a day and ripping the Natives off.

Another case of importing cheap workers for temporary gains, but long term drains on social services for legitimate citizens.

Prove me wrong.

TPS, by its very nature, is temporary. There was no legitimate expectation that the majority on it would stay permanently or be able to convert to another status.

Pretty sure you also have no idea what the actual costs were or if they were a net drain on social services let alone the rate of unemployment was for the Haitians was or tax revenues generated.

They are/were the largest group of immigrants in Charleroi, but substantially under 50%

It's always telling that that you haven't tried to delve into those other migrants. Plus, we know you don't care one lick about the town to begin with

Same way they saved the town in the first place. These Haitians are obviously harder workers than the natrual-born citizens of Charleroi are anyway. Just give them the jobs and show them the way.

Easy peasy.

Some positive news for Charleroi after all the recent job losses

Your woke bias is amazing. Its unprecedented. You talk down to the native people of Charleroi based your personal stereotype.
