You have to love how this piece of propaganda spends whole paragraphs with emotionally charged life stories of the immigrant children, but only one very short sentence on what is the actual crux of the matter:
Not only is this influx of immigrants indeed a huge financial burden on the taxpayers of such a small town, but it also implies that all the adult immigrants (the relatives to whom the unaccompanied minors are brought) in that community dont contribute a lot to its tax base.
So on a factual basis, the situation in Worthington fully confirms the arguments and fears of immigration critics, yet the entire article is written as if the takeaway would be something along the lines of "dying white smalltown community struggles to cope with its future out of heartless, racist reasons".
Specifically, I'd like to draw your attention to how the inflammatory emotionally charged details are borderline libelous yet presented with no evidence or context. We have nothing but the reporters word, and they could easily be lying or presenting a misleading context. Their first detail people seize on is that the bus driver says he doesnt say good morning to the illegal immigrants "who wont say anything back". Well, his rather specific conditional statement could easily mean he simply told the reporter how he says good morning to all the kids, but gave up on saying it to the ones who
dont speak english. Its likely a smear, presented to make the reader prejudiced against the guy. Next comes the claimed heckling and victimhood of a priest who in his own quote explicitly says he calls the people of the town racist. Claiming someone receives death threats is a the low bar of victimization that anyone can claim because shit, I get dozens of death threats posting on r/politics, just reading online comments in this politicized era means anyome remotely controversial can say it and probably be true. Have they
ever wrote about the daily thousands of death threats against Trump and his family? Now as far as getting heckled, if the priest is making direct aspirations against the townsfolk and wielding a moral bludgeon to smear them as racist to their face,
of course hes going to get booed. The writers framed him as having the moral high ground while he doesn't share any of the burden.
So yeah, its a story about the absolute horror story of illegal immigration that confirms everything the trump narrative says. They are extremely high benefit and needy yet pay no taxes, while old white people on fixed incomes are being taxed through the nose to pay for their benefits. Population replacement, dey terk yer jerbs, you name it. And the counterargument is to call anyone who dissents a racist. And they're meta and acknowledge that they're labeling anyone who dissents as racist rather than winning on policy, and they go ahead and frame them as racist anyway. So the liberal elites in mcmansions can scoff at the yokels and bumpkins and say they deserve it
