Thread: And This is how they assimilate into America

I was looking out my front window and this is what I saw. This is the Hispanic family that moved into the house cross the street and one over from me. (These pictures are out my front windows.)

A B C D E


A) Note the left side of the picture, just coming into picture is a man racking leafs. (The house shown here is his)
B) He has moved the pile of leafs to the bushes that divide his property from his neighbors house (right of the bushes is his neighbor)
C) He is now pushing the leafs he racked from his yard over to his neighbors yard.
D) He is done. His yard to the left of bushes, and his neighbor to the right of the bushes.
E) In this pic look for the tree stumps in his front yard. If can't tell, it's those two trees without branches. This past summer he cut three perfectly good trees to that level. It’s an eye sore, and myself and the other neighbors conclude that the bare 18 to 20 foot tree stumps remind him of the tall cactus in the southwest. We also guess that because he cut off all the leaf baring braches, that he feels justified racking the leafs off his property.

I have never seen anything so rude and so UN-Neighborly in my life. After taking these pictures with my cell phone camera (sorry about quality), I stood out on my front stoop shaking my head to show total contempt, and saying loud enough for him to hear me. (Without yelling) “Bad neighborâ€

I have been living this way for 3 years. One behind me, one next door, and two across the street. It makes me ill and also it scares the hell out of me.

yeah, ASSimilate, we've got them here too. Some of them can put Sandford & Son to shame.

Welcome to our lifesytle in Southern California! Space won't allow me to share my stories of Mexican neighbors..Out here, you see jugs of water in front lawns surrounding their properties. I was told this was to "scare off stray dogs"....They move into a neighborhood, take over and start loading the streets up with cars..I can't wait to leave this cesspool...

I don't know if he's a bad neighbor, I would wager he's fed up. If you look at the yard he is raking the leaves BACK INTO it. It's obvious that whoever lives in the house behind his needs to either: (a) trim that giant tree that is hanging over the guys house and creating the mess; or (b) rake his doggone leaves. Judging from the pile in the neighbors' yard, it looks like those homeowners NEVER RAKE THEIR LEAVES.

I lived in a house that had common property lines just like that one and had a lazy triffling neighbor whose leaves I was forced to rake for 5 YEARS. This lazy bum never cut his grass, shoveled snow Or raked his leaves. After 5 years I was sick of it and put my house on the market. I had to keep calling the village for them to ticket him to cut his grass because people would come out, look around, see his yard and comment to the brokers about the horrible unkempt state of it, so I started calling the village on him to ticket him for not cleaning up his yard and various other code violations regarding the condition of his house.

He became vindictive and it turned really ugly. This pig dumped a chunk of concrete in the middle of my driveway to block me from getting out of my garage. He and his friends would throw beer cans on my property while I was at work. In case you're wondering, my neighbor was a WHITE guy. As someone who has lived next door to a lazy pig, I have to side with the guy that has cut down his trees so he doesn't have to rake leaves, it looks like he keeps his yard up. While I agree the trees may look funny, at least his yard is well groomed.

Looks to me like his neighbor is the one with the big trees and piled up leaves. He needs to clean up his yard.

Very telling pictures. What a piece of crud. I have neighbors and trees all around me and no one rakes leaves and crap into an other neighbors yard. Friendly, good Americans just don't do that or would even think of doing it.

I had a similar problem last summer. I live next to a park where the children's soccer teams play their match's.
For some reason four groups of mexicana soccer teams started to play there.

Mind you, you cannot arrive on the field before 8:00am, but these people would arrive between 7-7:30am and blast their mariachi music to the full, as if saying, "HERE I AM, GET USED TO IT!" Once I even heard a rooster crowing.(Must have had one in their car)

It also amazed me to see them arrive in their broken down cars with probably the best sound systems (tax payer) money can buy.
It woke up the whole block when they came, so I started calling the police every time they arrived. It took a while, but they finally left for good.

I can’t believe you justify that action. I don’t have a tree on my property that have leaves and I have 8 to 10 yard waist bags full each year at this time. I don’t push them next door where most came from. It’s nature, and nature knows nothing about bounty lines, and that’s just part of home ownership. But not having your neighbors dump their problem on you. And I believe I in showing people around me respect.

I see you’re in Illinois, unless it’s southern Illinois then you would know that 85% 90% of the leaves fell the last two cold nights. And most people work and wait for the weekend for doing this stuff.

But this is America, so you’re welcome to your opinion.

I have yard work to do after I get back from the anti-SPP / NAU rally/protest in Schaumburg tomorrow. If you’re in the Chicago area, are you going to the rally/protest?

What is it with doing that to trees?
It DOES seem to be some cultural thing. We had a renter that we brought the wrath of the law down upon because, AS A RENTER, he took it upon himself to do this to our old oak tree (he was a naturalized citizen, not an illegal, BTW) in the front yard and the pear trees in the back yard. He really thought that he was "doing us a favor" butchering those trees. I never understood it. As the illegals started taking over the city I grew up in it became a common site.

Settle down . . . . first and foremost I live in Westmont Southwest of Chicago not in the boondocks. Second, I'm not justifying his actions but having lived with someone whose yard always looked like the yard behind the leaf raker, I know first hand how frustrated and disgusted I got constantly cleaning up his leaves that constantly blew all over my yard and driveway because he wouldn't trim his trees or clean up his yard, simply because he was a lazy pig.

That being said, let's just agree to disagree. As for the rally, I won't be able to make that one I have a prior commitment that I can't forego.
