The Heartland Visa is a thinly veiled weapon to invade rural communities & obliterate them. I challenge the premise that these areas are “underpopulated”. I live in rural Texas in a town of roughly 11 000 people. Over the past ten years here, I have watched this town grow & grow in size & population. The same thing has happened in the surrounding towns/communities. Just because the population does not exist to support Big Tech & their incursions into rural areas, does not mean we are short of people. We have enough people. We don’t want a massive influx. We don’t want to become a big city. We moved here to GET AWAY FROM THAT. We willingly make the sacrifices that come with small populations because we value what living like this brings. It is a very deliberate calculation. We don’t mind driving an hour or two to get to the nearest Apple store if it means we don’t have to live like people in Seattle or Portland or DC do. We do not want to mutilate our children or make excuses for pedophilia or stand by while children are raped for money or give up our right to self-defence and the guns that protect us. We do not live in fear. Many of us still don’t lock all our doors at night. We love being as far away from the politics of hatred & insanity as we can get. And we will not be conquered. So hands off our kids, our families, our hospitals, schools & towns. We like country living & we reject your BS. It’s bad enough we are being invaded by Californians, let alone opening the floodgates to mass migration from foreign nations with completely different cultures & value systems. In case I am not clear: Leave us alone.
