Very sad. Was she part of the migrant group that lives in the woods next to the boat ramp?
No, she was a local.
They are not “migrants”, but illegal alien immigrants. Folks really should stop calling them “migrants”, when they are no such thing.
Yep. Call them what they are, illegals.
@Heartbroken There are illegal aliens… illegally living in the woods next to the boat ramp? You know this for fact? Have you contacted the Sheriff’s Dept?… US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)? If you are aware of this, it’s your civic duty as a US citizen…as an American, to do so. How do you live with yourself, knowing that information and not acting on it? Do the right thing.
