I'm new to the forum, I joined last week. I've lived in Northern California for most of my life, I love my state, at least the way it used to be. I've moved within my town twice in the last 3 yrs. I scraped every penny I had to buy my first home in a nice middleclass neighborhood .Then the illegals started moving in. Drunken parties every weekend, mariachi music blaring til all hrs of the night, garbage tossed over into my yard. I decided to move before it got even worse, to sell my home while it still had some value. By the standards of Mexico, illegals and even some US Citizens in our country, feeling this way makes me a racist. I scraped together more money to buy another house in a better neighborhood, imagine my surprise when it started happening all over again this time even worse, besides the blaring music, and drunken parties , I looked out my back window on more than one occasion to see grown men in their 30's and 40's urinating in broad daylight. I got my video camera and taped this, called the police and guess what they did? NOTHING. Didn't even show up. Time to move again. I now spend a huge chunk of my income on another house . Illegals have invaded every aspect of life in the town I live in except for my new neighborhood( for now anyway) my home is my only sanctuary where I can live without feeling like I'm in Tijuana. It's money well spent. From the minute I drive out of my neighborhood I have to be careful when I drive through an intersection some Illegal doesnt blind side me, I can't tell you the number of times I've had to slam on my brakes when a pregant latino woman with a stoller and 3 kids trailing behind her crosses against the big orange hand, if I accidently hit her god knows she will probably end up owning everything I have. I go to the store I hear spanish, I go to the bank I hear spanish. I go to the doctor, the latino receptionists are blaring Mexican music right there in the waiting room ! Feeling this way I must be a racist. I know people who who have legally immigrated to this country, they filled out their papers waited and became a citizen. They talk glowingly of the U.S., they say how fortunate they feel , how much they love this country and how proud they are to be American. This is the kind of immigrant America was built upon. Illegals do not feel this way, they despise us, our culture our ways. They are jealous of what we have and want it for themselves. I'm a racist because I live in America and I want it to feel like I live in America, not Mexico. I want to watch baseball and eat hot dogs, I want to drive down the streets of my town and not see the Mexican flag, pinatas, hear Mexican music and Spanish. I'm tired of them cramming their culture down my throat every minute of the day. The thing that ENRAGES me the most is their sense of entitlement, their demands that they have the same rights as we do and the fact that I should just accept it with a smile on my face. My 78 yr old grandmother can't survive on just social security, she must still work full time. She got laid off last yr and cannot get a job because the illegals all have them. She is still looking. Once she gets too old to work I'm sure our government will take care of her like they take care of the illegals. Our politicians want to make them all citizens, they don't stop to think what will happen down the road. Once they are able to vote, with their astronomical birthrates in a not so distant future they will be the majority. Then they will vote in a Latino government and our present politicians will be left scratching their heads wondering what happened? They only think about today. Once these people suck America dry, turn it into a third world wasteland like the one they left behind, what then? I guess they will invade the Candian border and start making their demands all over again. I'm sorry for the long post, sometimes it helps to vent. Being on this forum I realize there are many people that feel the same way I do.
