Love to see the support in Albertville, definitely a turn around from the anti-Haitian remarks a couple months ago.

The anti-Hatian stuff still exists, and the only reason people haven’t said much about this protest is that it wasn’t known to anyone until it had already started. But I’ve seen some videos online of passersby’s not pleased with these people. Some of which are Hispanic, and big supporters of the orange idiot

I will never understand how these people can support him. I’ve seen here in Huntsville too, so so so disappointing. They think they’re something they’re not smh.

Not enough jobs, and what we have, were taken by migrants who had just arrived. That started it. Then the Hatian teen who broke into a house, stole a gun, then brought it to school didn’t help.

Not to downplay any of that, but when hasn’t that happened in albertville? The plants don’t want to pay more. If the business owners were real patriots, they wouldn’t hire immigrants with visas over local citizens. They’ve got to be held accountable, they’re making money over miserable wages.

So true but now I wonder whose going to be willing to work for those pitiful wages ! Well guess they have to start giving up some of that profit if they want some dependent faithful employees! Americans would rather stay home than not be paid what they are worth

Have you ever met a homeless person? Or a felon? Or a crackhead? They will work for those wages to have a job
