The real problem with the local brand of polygamists (by the way, they are not Mormons!), is that they are also cleverly raiding the treasuries of two states, Utah and Arizona. They live mostly in two towns stradling the border of the two states. They make state money by making sure their wives and many kids are collecting Social Security bennies, as well as welfare and food stamps, perhaps from both states at once as they may have two houses on each side of the border (?). With as many as five or six wives and several kids, their monthly stipend may amount to significant income. Many of them have businesses too and are hard workers.
On the Arizona side, it is said that they build large homes they never seem to finish so they pay lower property taxes on the houses as being "under construction."
The local polygs are doing well and their numbers are growing. They are also the most unattractive people imaginable. The women dress in home-made dresses and long socks or men's trousers under their dresses. They wear no makeup, braid their long hair and they all tend to be about 50 pounds overweight. The men dress in cowboy clothes and are uniformy unfriendly.
