A friend is building a new expensive house nearby. His brain spins like a top with crazy right wing new reports. Speaking with him yesterday he was convinced illegal immigrants each get $7,000 a month from the U.S. government. This conversation was taking place while we were in his new home under construction. Working in his home happened to be a young guy of Mexican heritage. Kadizzle went over to the young guy and asked him if he knew of any illegals getting $7,000 a month. Of course he said no. Made no difference, neighbor still knew for sure the crazy urban legend was true. Crazy stories are like viruses they spread well.
Another crazy report was that China, Mexico, and other countries have apps on the internet to help illegals get into the country. This no doubt is another twist on reality. The way these stories work is you take a small truth and spin it like crazy. The whole conversation reminds Kadizzle of the time in North Dakota he heard Hoopleheads talking about how the Northern Lights were the reflection of the sun off the ice. For stupid people a simple explanation always works best.
