We have discussed this subject before, but I have one more story to add.

We live within a complex, and we rent one of the duplexes. Of course the duplexes are highly coveted, mainly by the illegals as it has a yard, garage and washer dryer hook-up (however, the living area, bathroom and bedrooms are a bit smaller than the apartments). A good portion of these people, mainly our next door neighbors have been trying to frustrate us into moving out (they want the unit for the daughter and her boyfriend with their child, we were told this by the former maintenance man and another kids here).

The front yard is ours as well, and is nice sized. Near the driveway in said front yard, where we park, has been a swamp/mudhole since we moved in (there is a natural spring in this area so there is a high water table here). This mudhole has been made worse by the neighbors (from before we had a car to park there and when we are gone this happens) they will pull into the mudhole and spin out while turning around in the limited driveway space, plus spin out in the mud, flinging mud into the driveway and onto the garage door.

So, a bit ago I bought the least expensive materials possible (plus those green metal fencing posts you just sink in) to make fence panels to eliminate the turn around problem. No more turning around in our yard, and no more actual vehicles can pull into our yard as they used to (yep you got it, they would use our yard to turn around, they would get extremely close to our front window to do it).

We also fixed the drainage problem and filled in the new drain area with soil and planted grass seed (the patch kind made with green colored paper pulp). The landlord saw the whole deal and was tickled pink about it all. Well, I should add, that our backyard was also a problem, their little dogs, and kids, we would find sitting in our backyard all the time, or using it for a toilet, so ,my son who had received a lot of good wood free, made a 6&1/2 foot fence that encompasses our portion of the side and closed off the back from intruders (plus a gate with a lock).

Ok, this explained, I will now explain how the entitlement applies to it all.

The people who regularly used our yard and the mudhole to turn around in are ticked beyond belief, the guy next door (who wants our place) is livid. He glares st us when we are out and while my son was in the front pounding the fence stakes in, he glared at him and flipped him off (this is a man in his 20's, to a 14 year old who has done NOTHING to him). Then there are this guys family and friends who regularly used the yard as well, they glare and say "pendejo" to us.

As well yesterday, one older guy, probably about 18, and some other older kids/teens, were making sure they kept kicking the soccer ball from across the way into the yard, and have to come into the yard to get it, caught a teen girl walking her little dog to do his business on the side of our place and one kid leaned in to a tiny one, who then came over and started kicking the grass patch stuff all around from where we spread it (this was all in the same hour).

This is far from a personal rant, this is a story about their sense of entitlement, not only expecting that we should bend over and allow them to do as they pleased all along with our yard (that we pay for and keep up), but that their expectation that we have no right to disallow them access to what we pay for and is ours.

Thus is the mentallity of the illegal aliens. This I believe, no I KNOW is across the board. This is but just one example, witnessed by an American, and I am sure many more across this country, of that same attitude and sense of entitlement.
