Laurel was once a very prosperous town. It is the oil capitol of Mississippi and the birth place of Masonite Corporation. The economy took a nose drive in the late 70s when the domestic oil industry went bust. Been going down hill since. The huge influx of illegals has turned quaint middle class neighborhoods into slums. Crime is out of sight with numerous rapes and murders. One local judge said that nearly 25% of her case load involved illegals.
I can relate my friend. I've watched southern California go from the golden state, the crown jewel of America, Beach Boys etc to the gang boyz who will blow your brains out in their senseless murder districts for no GD good reason at all.
I have nothing but boiling contempt for those that have forced this violent disaster on America.
