(81,403 posts)All the construction, landscaping, snow removal, nursing home care, etc etc are immigrant labor.
And yes Columbus is a wonderful foodie town, there is a cornucopia of ethnic restaurants,
food trucks and pop ups. Many owned and operated by ethnic groups.
I am reading the Columbus forums online and it is heartbreaking.
Parents running to the schools to grab their children before ICE gets there.
Mothers worried about going grocery shopping.
People wondering if they should go to work or not.
The forums are good about posting all the ICE sightings so people have a chance to get their
kids at the schools and to stay out of the target area.
But the ICE agents are on the move and keep popping up everywhere.
I see many posts by the white folks who are volunteering to do some driving, taking people to and from
the store, etc. And who are protesting the ICE agents during the day and night.
The hotels where the ICE are staying is well known and white people are there at night
playing loud music and yelling with bullhorns.
There is a protect today in front of the ICE detention center in Westerville.
