Illegal Aliens

Instead of worrying about Latino migrant workers Americans should worry about real illegal aliens. 

  It looks like a combination between a raccoon and a monkey, has a long tail and a taste for chicken. It has popped up around south Argyle, having been seen near Pleasant Valley Infirmary, North Road and near Route 40 in recent weeks. It’s apparently a coatimundi, a small mammal native to Central and South America that somehow has made it to the wilds of Washington County. Coatimundi look similar to monkeys, and Daniels said what he saw was swinging its arms as a monkey does. "I’m a hunter, and I’ve seen a lot of animals in the woods, but I’ve never seen anything like this before," he said. Ash said coatimundi eat mainly fruit, with some meat and eggs, but he said the ones he’s had haven’t targeted live animals. "They’re basically raccoons with a long nose and longer tail," he said. Ash said it’s ironic that the state does not allow residents to own native animals like raccoons or skunk, but residents can own a non-native species like a coatimundi without a permit. He said he’s aware of "three or four" other people in the area who have them.
