“He thinks our people are idiots.”

I could not stop thinking about how expensive it is for us to maintain these tiny towns, and how much better the outcomes would be and for how much less money, if instead of rebuilding their tiny town, we moved them all to cities.

    I later learned that Buchanan County Sheriff Allen Boyd, a regular customer, ate dinner here about two weeks before my visit, and then assisted ICE in setting up a late-night checkpoint that nabbed two El Sombrero employees. One was known as Little Lupe. The other was Alejandro Martinez, a waiter who’d been a fixture in Grundy for more than 15 years. Lupe was released, but Martinez was quickly deported to Mexico.

    One Facebook poster wrote, “They can get the one illegal immigrant in Buchanan County, but the 4000 meth-heads are fine. ok.” Another chimed in: “Did I vote for TRUMP??? YES, I DID but that didn’t mean my friend had to be done this way.”

    Martinez himself was a Trump supporter, as were the restaurant’s owners.

    Wow there’s is no recovery from this level of stupid. Just gotta keep these idiots contained in their area and wait for them to die out drowning in problems of their own making.
