CA and other Immigrant states, Has the quality of life ..
in your states declined with illegals?
On other forums I am active in, they say illegals have not hurt their economy, but help it. Many from California say things like this:
"Respectfully, I'm not aware of Mexican immigrants being an inordinate crime issue. Not here in the "real" New Mexico. I think that assumption is mythical. If anything, the Immigrants are by and large the "victims" of crime by Americans. Show me some numbers. They spend "tons" of money in this country, every cent of which is taxed. They buy houses here (taxed), do the sh!t jobs no American wants to do for any price. They revive dead communities that now teem with businesses. They're gonna drive whether or not they have licenses therefore it makes zero sense to not license them.
In the Salinas Valley (America's Salad Bowl), federal raids have disrupted farming so much that the farmers lease land in Mexico to grow the same crops. All of this sentiment is just making it more difficult for good people that work their asses off to get on with their lives.
Their food is tasty and their women look good too."
I don't see this positive aspect in Atlanta. The construction has become shoddy. Hospitals and schools are overburdened. Traffic and insurance issues, along with crime with illegals is huge.
They rent, not buy. They live in large groups in small rentals, and send most of their money back to Mexico and other countries. I honestly don't see them keeping up the rental property.
The legal immigrants seem to do only slightly better with assimilating.
I am sure they do fill some jobs, but is it worth it?

I went to high school with a student who was killed by illegal immigrant gang members. Illegals are HIGHLY over-represented in California's gangs. MS-13 and the 18th Street Gang are primarily illegal immigrant gangs. They are responsible for the spike in gang violence.
They want the #s?? According to Boosh's own words, 1 in 12 illegals caught by ICE from 2000-2005 had criminal records. 29% of our federal prison population are illegals according to federal bureau of prison stats.

BS.....They send most of it back to Mexico, which accounts for the second leading source of revenue for the Mexican economy.
Quote:
They buy houses here (taxed),
They cram 5 families into one house.

Do I even need to say why this is BS?

Yes, reward people for breaking the law. Do not enforce existing immigration laws. It makes so much sense that it makes your head spin.

So, farmers outsource if they can't get the cheap labor here. And yes, illegal Mexicans work harder than anyone can immagine, you lazy Americans. That is why Mexico is a Third World dump, and the USA is the most advanced modern industrialized country on earth.

Pointless. WTF does immigration status have to do with looks?
No.............This is not typical of illegal immigration in Southern California. That guy just repeated every talking point the MSM has shoved in front of him. And where does he live? In some gated community where the only illegals sees are his gardeners?
