Yes it was a democratic area, but just a few miles south, the immigrant users abounded, cheap agricultural workers, who then used the schools, hospitals, and welfare system, and the agri business thought that just swell.Up untill last year all of vehicles were american made, my out boards were mercury or evinrude, till the mercs just fell apart. I owned several zenith TV sets, Troy built yard products,[later made in mexico and didn't last a year]American workers didn't leave america, the companys did.I had several relatives who worked in the steel mills, they lost their pensions because of merger buy outs that included the fundsed pension plans. So uncle sugar was left holding the bag and the pensioers got about 60 cents on the dollar. Some of you guys might think that the old time manufactoring will return, IT WONT! Want to make america great again, quit sendinmg our armed forces all over the world to support multi national conglomerates. If we fight, leave the ruins to the natives to dispose of and rebuild.Who the hell ever thought of the idea that we bomb the crap out of someone, and then pay to rebuild them. So we hire american contractors at inflated prices, who hire cheap labor and pay millions in kick backs to the folks we fought against. Military intelligence at its finest. Take the american 8th division, and place them along the mexican border. Besides we are not that good at winning wars when you stop to think about it.
