Former President Trump and Elon Musk have targeted one place in their agitation against migrants: Charleroi in Pennsylvania. Since then nothing has been as it used to be.
Until four weeks ago, when Donald Trump and Elon Musk launched their major attack on Charleroi, the small town on the Monongahela River was something like home for Augusta Goll, a haven of peace, the place of her dreams. After the death of her son in Arizona, the Liberian-born woman came to western Pennsylvania in 2019 for a new start and found work in a frozen food factory – like hundreds of other migrants.
“We can use everyone,” said company boss David Barbe as his motto. Of its 1,100 workers, 700 come from 40 different countries. “It’s like the United Nations,” he says proudly.
