HOTPE: "No one is assuming anything."
That was said in response to your comment:
PaulW: "To assume someone is staying here illegally based purely on their nationality is.... not nice."
I will add, and clarify that my comment about not assuming nationality was a given, because nationality in this case was a known and confirmed detail of the situation. Nothing else was implied or assumed.
PaulW: "Quite a lot of assumptions based just on supposed nationality."
Not a single assumption. All based on facts my friend determined by talking to people who had specific information about the situation. No one was taking a guess. The facts had nothing to do with nationality, they were determined by physical presence of the migrants in Kaimu, and actions they took while at, and after leaving the farm.
If you are in desperate need to find a racist today, there are plenty of other sites on the internet that specialize in that sort of thing. And they'll make it easy for you, they won't argue. They're proud of it.
Back to our previous increase in real estate sales in Puna. I think it will be onward and upward in 2017.
