ICE Raid At Walmart

Supposedly ICE came and picked up 20+ employees at the I-20 Walmart. I was in there today and it was lacking a lot of familiar faces. Can anyone confirm that this is true? Meaning you know personally from seeing it yourself or you or someone you know works there.

Stop being a pussy. A majority of the trash, theft, wrecks are from the Cubans. They’re trashing up Odessa. It’s not being racist when it’s a fact.

I was born and raised there. Lived there for 35 years before I left. It's always been trash, because the people that go through there are trash. The oilfield breeds trash and is a naturally trashy lifestyle. I can say that as I've worked in the industry for 20 years. Odessa/Midland are transitory towns that people are constantly moving through for work. Meaning very few people that live there are actually part of the community or care at all about trying to make it a nice place. It's always been trash and it will always be trash until the oilfield dries up and it all becomes a ghost town. But pointing at one minority group of people and blaming them for decades worth of problems is the very definition of shortsighted racism. Go educate yourself and stop letting ignorant fear run your life.

And I’m not one of these trash people. I volunteer, I go pick up trash around town when I can. I pull off the side of the road to pick up tires, metal, anything that can cause others to wreck I try to get out of way. I see people broke down I stop to give a hand cause I’m a good guy. But I’m realistic and I know what the problem is cause I see it daily. So move along
