i have family in marshalltown, iowa. at least 30% of the town is illegal. the whole town knows about it. my sister had to pull my niece from public primary because they went to teaching EVERY CLASS in bilingual. my niece was literally sitting around looking at the wall for half of every class because they were reteaching it in spanish for the other 8 or 9 kids. the whole north side of town used to be a quaint ww2 era neighborhood. totally safe, clean, nice place. now it's a hood, total crime, meth dealers, everything is run down. it's sad.
