Wow. Is it because of the poultry plants and such in northern Arkansas and parts of SW MO the reason for that?I hear a lot of those plants are said to have a lot of illegals working in them. I hear people talk about the Tyson plant in SW MO and complaining about possible illegals working there.It wouldn't shock me at all though. Cheap labor.Noel must be a lot different than the early 1960s when the residents of McDonald County wanted to secede from Missouri.

The labor isn't cheap, and Tyson isnt even subsidized for hiring Somalis and other foreign types, or given any type of financial or governmental incentive as far as I know.

Ample research that the elite-owned mainstream media refuses to convey to the masses thus those masses remain ignorant of that research though the literate, curious cohort will seek it out and be reminded that despite the relentless propaganda and indoctrination to the contrary diversity and multiculturalism is a destroyer of cultures, societies and even entire countries.

I live in NE Oklahoma which geographically is more southern than any of Missouri, but because of decades of criminals jumping the borders between Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri and hiding out in Indian Territory my area is overwhelmed with white trash. I dont mean poor, uneducated people like 20 yrs in Branson (but transplanted from Washington State) might mock, but I mean foul mouthed, rude, obnoxious people (no better than alot of yankees). The population gets better the further in the state and down south one goes.

I dont think Kansas impacts NEO at all. I moved here from the Oklahoma panhandle. The town north of the one I lived in was in Kansas.

I would rather live around hard working religious Mexicans and even savage Muslim Africans in Noel than any of those larger cities around yankees / carpetbaggers, but I wouldnt be happy about it. A high Mexican population means the drug trade will follow. African blacks usually keep their crimes to themselves, but as someone whos resided in two African countries, I wouldnt look forward to noel being inhabitable in two generations anyway.

The Oklahoma panhandle is less than 50 miles north to south, and is sandwiched between Texas and Kansas. You can tell within 5 minutes of meeting someone if their people are from Texas or Kansas. Its also overrun with Mexicans, hence my statement I would rather live around mexicans than Yankees.

That place is the most
Just friendly curiosity...where at, in NE Oklahoma? My grandparents were from Miami, OK. My grandma was born in Blue Jacket.

My GGGrandfather was one of the founders (with his brother) of Southwest City, MO.

That poster hasn't been here. Maybe he still lurks. But the only town that is right "north in Kansas" is Baxter Springs. And the only Oklahoma towns "south" of Baxter are Miami, Commerce, and Quapaw now that Picher is abandoned.

I got a kick out of what he said about the panhandle. It's true. It's true, you can tell in five minutes who is from Kansas and who is from Texas. But give me the Kansan every time. LOL.
