Illegal immigrant is not political. It is a noun.

illegal alien/immigrant​

noun


: a foreign person who is living in a country without having official permission to live there
Come on. You specifically inserted the phrase, “illegal immigrants” into a legend in response to a completely tangential post. How else are we supposed to interpret your comments? You’ve made political comments before but we don’t want this to spiral into yet another fight over immigration.

And the original post by Bode is not at all on topic. So move on.

Because long ago the Penacooks prophesized the Old Man would fall when their lands became filled with illegal immigrants that invaded and destroyed their lands; that it would signal the demise of their people, homes and way of life. Similar to Chocorua's curse. Today, only a few souls of the Penacooks exist. You reside where they once lived and roamed. Indian Head (soon to be renamed) is still there as a symbol and proof of their prophecies. It will never fall and is a reminder of what was once theirs. A warning to what will happen if you have open borders and allow illegal immigrants to take what is yours. Everyone knew the Old Man would fall someday, but nobody thought it would be in our lifetimes. I have pieces of the Old Man in my rock garden and sometimes I see tears coming from them.

I find it ironic that this thread is supposed to be about Vail Sucks, when in reality the true essence of some people posting here sucks more then Vail…

I think my post is relative because Vail kind of did the same thing. They arrived here from somewhere else and took over many of our ski areas. Most of us did not-and do not-want them here. The legend of the Old Man of the Mountain is a reminder of how things used to be.

That's a stretch. So you're saying that folks don't like Vail like they don't like "illegal aliens." Yeah, no. We're not going there.

Your post had nothing to Vail and everything to do with crowbarring in your politics. Find somewhere else on the internet to do that you Zealot

Wow... If it wasn't for the J-1's many places would have been in deep deep trouble over the last few seasons...

As an immigrant myself I am extremely grateful to have been able to go to excellent public schools, college, and grad schools for 30 years and then care for tens of thousands of patients over a 40 year healthcare career

This thread is starting to make as much sense as the typical Scottyskis post! And absolutely no disrespect meant to Scotty and all the health issues he is battling! Be strong Scotty!
