Walz Bragged of Mass Immigration Overwhelming Small Minnesota Town’s Schools with 50 Languages

Gov. Tim Walz (D), Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, once bragged about mass immigration overwhelming a small town in southern Minnesota — calling the situation an example of “beautiful diversity.”

In late 2019, Breitbart News reported extensively on Worthington, Minnesota. With fewer than 14,000 residents, the town’s taxpayers were forced to hike taxes to the sum of tens of millions to expand the school district because of a rapid increase in migrant children enrolling.

During a gubernatorial debate in October 2022, Walz bragged about the mass immigration that has inundated Worthington {snip}

“We are a state of immigrants that values that. We have more refugees per capita than any other state. That’s not just morally a good thing — it’s our economic and cultural future,” Walz said:

This beautiful diversity we see out in Worthington when I’m there, you see 50 languages spoken in the school and you see every storefront filled with different types of foods, different types of businesses that are happening. Minnesota needs to continue to do that. {snip}[Emphasis added]

Worthington, since the year 2000, has seen its foreign-born population balloon to almost 30 percent of the town’s population. {snip}
