I was stopped last week by an elegant woman dressed in western clothes, carrying a toddler, panhandling in the parking lot at our local Target. She did not speak English, she said, had no husband, and asked for money.
She looked like the gypsies who surrounded us growing up in Ceausescu’s Romania but did not speak Romanian, they spoke a language called “Romany or Romanes, a word from the Indian Ram or Rama, which means husband.”
Tribes of rroma adapted to the countries
where they “settled” and incorporated local dialects or words into their
language but remained mostly nomadic, moving around to places where there was
money to be made, begged, stolen, or earned.
The rroma
(gypsies) originated in the Punjab region of northern India as a nomadic people
who migrated to Europe between the eighth and tenth centuries A.D. They were
mistakenly called gypsies because they were believed to have come from Egypt.
The rroma
minority exists all over Europe today and is divided among groups called “tribes”
or “nations.” In Romania, 3 percent of the population is thought to be rroma. A
few of the tribes do not move around, they have distinct villages. Some have
opulent villas built with money “earned” abroad. National Geographic dedicated
an entire section to these rroma and their opulent villas with their unique
architectural style.
In 2017, an
article from Reuters wrote that Pennsylvania residents of a small town called
California were upset by “Romanian” immigrants who, they said, “have not
assimilated to American culture, beheading chickens and defecating in the
streets.”
I do not
know of any Romanians, and I am one, who engage in such strange behavior, and
they have most certainly assimilated into the American culture as doctors,
lawyers, teachers, journalists, businesspeople, nurses, mechanics, carpenters,
accountants, chemical engineers, professors, and other professionals. The
article in question was referring to gypsies (rroma) originating from Romania.
According to
the Post-Gazette of this small university town, thirty-five miles south of
Pittsburgh, locals accused the immigrants of “throwing around trash, disobeying
traffic laws, defecating in public, being disruptive in markets and killing
chickens.”
The rroma economic
refugees were moved to the area “through a federal program that funded
temporary houses for immigrants” during the Obama administration. At that time,
the locals alleged that the rroma sent home weekly upwards of $30,000, money
stolen from their stores.
How did the forty
families of rroma (gypsies), reach the United Stated back then and others now,
all the way from Romania or from the streets of the European Union where they usually
traveled to since Romania became part of the European Union in 2007, and showed
up in Pennsylvania and now in northern Virginia?
According to
authorities, the rroma (gypsies) came via Mexico through the open U.S. border
in Laredo, Texas. They had obtained either “simple passports or a single
traveling paper” which entitled them to stay 180 days in Mexico without a visa
requirement. Once they arrived at the U.S. border, they demanded political
asylum from the persecution in Romania.
Persecution
in Romania is a misrepresentation because rroma (gypsies) were certainly not
persecuted after the “fall” of communism in 1989, they are a protected minority
with more rights, benefits, and influence than the average Romanian citizen.
They are not
poor people; the flight from Bucharest to Mexico City cost at least 1,225 euros
and has two stops, taking about thirty-eight plus hours to reach their
destination. The bus fare from Mexico City to Laredo, Texas border is not cheap
either, about $130 for 696 miles. This entire odyssey is expensive and time
consuming. Most Romanian citizens live on a fixed income and cannot afford such
fares, they would have had to save for years on an average salary of $400 a
month.
Locals among
the 7,000 plus residents of California, Pa, protested in 2017 that their quaint
and quiet small town had become a nightmare since the rroma arrived. The
complaints included the facts that they did not follow any rules, drove without
a license, urinated, and defecated in public, were a public nuisance in general,
and stole from Walmart.
The men
traveled to Baltimore on business during the week to join their rroma tribe. The
city of Baltimore had a large network of rroma who worked in construction, comprising
the largest rroma community in America, more than 25,000 people.
And now they
arrived in northern Virginia and are already panhandling at our local Target.
Dear Ileana, I think the worst thing about all these omnipresent illegals is not their original tribes, but the fact of their belonging to the hugest tribe of the modern world. It is certainly not any ancient Roma. The tribe’s name is Plain Parasites. These Parasites, - be they from Africa or Asia, men or women, young or old - understand perfectly well that they are entering into any Parasites-welcoming lands NOT TO WORK. Maybe to kill, maybe to steal, just to shamelessly urinate and defecate anywhere, to terrorize, to bla-bla-bla for the sake of some “social activities” – well, it could be in fact anything except an honest hard work. I guess, the process is called “economic migration” nowadays, but it’s really hard to believe that the good noble word “economics” may have even one moment with the global suicide.

Very interesting... they panhandle where people are relatively safe and settled...they do not go into the ghetto to panhandle... they are all very likely hooked up with social services and able to receive aid to dependent children.

Yep, they’re everywhere.
ReplyDelete2 weeks ago after church was having brunch at Metro 29 Diner with the family.
As we were exiting a large group were going in. All overdressed with gobs of makeup. It was a baby baptism party. “Ethnics” can spot them.

There are a lot in North Florida/Georgia area.

These giant invasions on the southern borders of my beloved America is not a touch of the gypsies' trail, behind Gin-Gis-Han hoards in the 13th century. This is a Chicom's paid attack of America's freedoms and a DemocRAT party strategy to destroy prosperity, freedoms an liberty in the Land of the Free! The CCP from Peking and the Kremlin leaders know history much better than AOC and her USEFUL IDIOTS from NYC and DC. Those giant anti-American plots will subsidize flights, bus trips, transoceanic journey and more to bring the Home of the Brave into the shithole of communism! Simple as that, look at Venezuela and Cuba! Gypsy migration from West India, nearly a millennium ago was a tango, compared with the anti-American rock-n-roll of now! God save America!
