Is this WSJ article an accurate depiction of what's really happening in Dalton, GA? If so, thoughts?
According to the following article from the Wall Street Journal, Dalton (with a 37.5% Hispanic population, which voted 72% in favor of Trump and his immigration policies) is now preparing for the economical (and psychical) fallout which might come when Trump begins deporting the labor force that Dalton industry relies upon.
One Trump voter they interviewed, who runs a staffing service, claims she voted for Trump because she doesn't believe his policies will target her community's "good" immigrants; "The Greater Dalton Chamber of Commerce is consulting with federal officials and companies 'to ensure our employers are able to engage the workforce they need to thrive,' said chamber President Jason Mock"; "Aaron Thomason, who owns a photography studio downtown, said he believes that in recent years the U.S. was 'letting people in without vetting them…I think that was wrong.' He said anyone should be allowed to stay, 'as long as they’re doing what other people had to do in the past to become citizens'"; "In the 1990s, immigration officials raided carpet and rug factories, sending workers fleeing through back doors. Those scenes remain etched in the memories of some locals. 'Are we going back to that?' said Benji Rogers, the owner of a wholesale-flooring company..."
Is Trump really gonna let "the good immigrants" stay? Is Dalton actually looking down the barrel of an economic cannon on it's way to blow Dalton's workforce away, or is this WSJ article over-blowing the hype?
