More than a quarter of Woodburn's 25,000 residents are undocumented. Nearly half struggle to speak English. But this was a town that taught people to dream.

A dream of continued law evasion. How inspiring.

sorry, it’s stupid to have your clientele base be largely illegals then not like it when business is down due to illegals being scared to come out and shop because they are in hiding due to being illegally in the country.

The lamestream always uses an emotional sob story to counter the law. We are nation of laws, not a nation of men. A nation of men results in Iraq, Zimbabwe, Venezuela.......You reap what you sow. You broke immigration law, why should we have pity on you?

How many American Citizens in the lower to lower middle classes can afford ostrich, crocodile or eel boots?

None because American citizens have to pay taxes, pay for driver's licenses, auto insurance, medical care and aren't allowed to share a residence far beyond its occupancy rate. It's amazing how much walking around money you can have when you're scamming the system.

Just think of how this rich experience will enable them to benefit and strengthen their own countries when they return.

A goal worthy of pursuing and very quickly.

Article said..”Workers from El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico ‘decided’ to stay”.....

‘Deciding’ to break our laws was the first mistake.....no country lets people come in and just decide to stay as long as they want. No their choice without applying for citizenship and that before they move there.

Follow our laws, work hard and be honest. If you can’t do that then GTFO of America.

I thought the same thing. In fact, I read this entire article without shedding a tear.

We need a wall, because a future Republican or Democrat will want open borders.

Yes, most of the article is a sob story, so the author tripped up by putting in that little blurb about illegals buying luxury goods (since they don’t have to pay for anything else that working Americans have to pay for).
What’s next, a leather goods allowance for all the 3rd worlders coming here in the middle of the night?

An admitted 25% of town is illegal! Damn.


That right there was a lot of illegal votes for Hillary.

Yeah!

To be fair American citizens (some) do break the law as well. But where are the sob stories about them?

“Poor old Fred the bank clerk was caught skimming from customer accounts. All he was trying to do was feed his family and by some ostrich cowboy boots for the weekly square dances at the Presbyterian church. Now he’s in jail and his family has been torn apart ... and for what?”

Maybe he should have opened a store with a name in English that the citizens of this country understand and he wouldn’t have to rely on illegal aliens for his living.
I hope to see all the store with Spanish signs around here go out of business as the illegal alien population repatriates back to their own countries.

I haven’t seen any evidence of deportations.
Just the thought of it sends the Oregonian into a lather.

There’s at least a million illegals in Oregon...which is why the state went for team satan and why the criminal leftists in gov. want to protect their illegal alien voting base.

I’m really tired of hearing these stories because they’re all saying the same thing no matter how they color it... in a nut shell...

“I didn’t apply for citizenship because I think I have the right to be here because I am here ... what you think does not matter, nor your laws more than what I want.”
