South Dakota won't be taking any illegal immigrants that the Biden Administration wants to relocate. My message to illegal immigrants... call me when you're an American.

She is also stupid--like the trump stupid!

Pete Buttigieg: "I heard the governor of South Dakota recently saying, 'this isn't infrastructure -- it's got money for pipes.' Well, we believe that pipes are infrastructure, because you need water to live. And too many families now live with the threat of lead poisoning."

Well they probably said the same thing to early settlers crossing the Badlands, the Missouri River, & the S Dakota prairie seeking a place to homestead, raise families, build towns & well, the rest in history.

There are a lot of undocumented workers in South Dakota. Meat-packing and other food-production plants, in particular, get busted every so often for not checking status before hiring, etc.

By the way, "illegal immigrants" is widely considered a slur. The more appropriate terms are undocumented workers or undocumented immigrants.

Especially if they are from a Russian or Slavic background.

I hope we can do better someday. I fear for my children and my minority grandchildren. Their roads are going to be long.

She is just bluffing since who will work the ranches and the meat packing plants otherwise cost of business is going up if they have to hire Americans or legal immigrants. Business owners and ranchers will not like this
