They need to publish these findings in Spanish and post at the border.
Honestly folks that is good news. If you don't build it, they won't come.
all jobs that involve flushing toilets are pretty much leaving this town.
Wake County and Raleigh Government has shot themselves in the foot and the sad thing is...they don't even realize it.
"They need to publish these findings in Spanish and post at the border."

Good one!

Wow, I haven't heard that blatent of racism in 40 years. I am hardly a bleeding liberal, but this is really sad. While I share a lot of the legitimate concerns about illegal aliens, I have always been concerned that the heart of the opposition to illegal aliens is that it provides another a seemingly legitimate outlet for racism that has otherwise pretty much been stifled in our society
There you go, blame the problem on Mexicans. You moronic people will continue to blame illegals for all of our problems, yet that won't make the situation any better. Illegal immigrants actually help our economy quite a bit. Go read some more about it and then make your comments.
A lot of hate in this area, asbrown. People here just whine and blame the poor and make up conspiracy theories. Ninth - I'll take that, doesn't sound like a bad place to be.
Good thing the criteria doesn't include poor leadership/growth management resulting a need for rain barrels, year round water conservation, 25 gallon/day usage, crowded schools with a fourth of the kids in trailers and constant reassignments, big bonds, rising taxes, continuous road construction, 20mph six-lanes, increased polluted air to breathe, crowded schools, overwhelmed courts, crowded jails, crowded ERs, crowded highways, crowded out wildlife, strained power plants, polluted rivers and streams, loss of good farm land to roads, houses and strip malls.
"Illegal immigrants actually help our economy quite a bit. Go read some more about it and then make your comments."

Maybe you should go read a bit about how they hurt the economy. Go ahead post your links and I will counter with ones showing how they hurt the economy and cost taxpayers. Go ahead.
