Thread: Tough times settling in for illegals?...

Only time will tell around here, how the illegal aliens in this area are faring, now what the push has begun by federal authorities. and also some state agencies, along with much ado in the news about taking a more stringent approach to handling different aspects of illegal immigration.

Here is what I am seeing here. Shopping has gone way down. I see at least a 60% decrease in the locals in my complex bringing in bags of stuff and even food. I see almost no newer/different cars rolling in and certainly times appear to be quite lean, with MANY of the men simply at home (no jobs?).

Most recently, we have had some take off from their units in the middle of the night and leave ALL of their belongings behind, including food and clothing.

I do think Christmas will tell me how things really are, although I beleive many still will raid the local charities as I saw them do last year (saw them rolling in with many bags and boxes of food and toys from them, most marked obviously on the outside), as well as their own massive shopping at Walmart and K-Mart. If we do not see too much activity, it could be telling us that there is less expendable income and jobs might just be drying up for them.

Let's all keep tabs locally. What I am seeing right now tells me we are heading in the right direction. Tell me all, what you are noticing across OUR nation?

Maybe AmerLiz.

The economy is tanking and people are only buying what is necessary. Therefore, illegals are out of work. I've noticed a lot of for rent signs and one of my neighbors bugged out. Stacked the mattresses on the curb and Poof!

Salt Lake City is a sanctuary city. We are seeing more and more of them come in. They are louder, more violent, hang together in large groups, mostly are men. The license plates are Arizonia, Oregon and California. We know that they will never change those plates and most do not have insurance. I have a police scanner here due to the large influx I want to monitor what goes on with them. My home is surrounded by groups of them living together with 8 to 10 trucks. large trucks at one home nightly.
For Utah this is a very hard time. Our government here does not seem to care how many come in and we are one of 6 states issuing drivers license's here.

True, the illegals may be out of work but I've got a feeling it's going to come our way, too.....I'm trying to plan far ahead and figure out a way to keep myself employed. I've been been through enough lean times already, thank you.

The guy who mows my lawn did have a drywall business and employed 6 Legal workers but the Illegals put him out of business.

He told me today a lot of the illegals have disappeared and some contractors are calling him and other construction workers to fix the mistakes the Illegals made and are now showing up in the homes they helped build.

I know the economy has a lot to do with them leaving but hopefully they are feeling some enforcement heat too.

I am so sorry to hear about the influx of illegals where you live, Paige!

Stay safe and remember we are all fighting to get this turned around.!!!
We will NOT GIVE UP and we will NOT GIVE IN!!!

I can only hope they don't come to North Carolina. I live in the mountains and there are enough of them here to many if you ask me. And, there are more in the peidmont and in the triangle than we have here in WNC. I just want them out of North Carolina period. Maybe with the construction business not doing so good, they will pack up and leave my state and my city too. They have overstayed their welcome as far as I am concerned. Now its time for them to go the h--- home to their country of origin.

I like the fact that over on the "dream act" forum they are now talking more about which "other" country to immigrate to than they are talking about trying to get the dream act to pass.

They are talking about other countries besides the one they were born in? So much for being "proud of their heritage".

I love it!!! Whatever it takes to rid us of illegals. We can survive a
recession but couldnt survive much more of the invasion.
