Did they take your job? You really think only illegal immigrants commit crimes? You really think all illegal immigrants burglar homes and cars? You really think most Americans want to work concrete in august? I can tell you many 'real' Americans barely work for 9.50 an hour in very nice conditions.
You really think property taxes are going up because of illegal immigrants? (In Oklahoma local taxes are going up because the PUBs in power have wrecked the state tax system)
A OKC Thunder coach left the team for a bit due to his wife being killed by a drunk 'real' American driver. McClain county man killed in head-on collision with a 'real' American. Pottsboro Tx right wing 'patriot' killed by landlord, the 'patriot' apparently tried to buy explosives the week before an argument with landlord turned deadly. (both 'real' Americans) Ada OK man sentenced to 10 years for stabbing his brother (earlier he shot his other brother with a shotgun) all 'real' Americans, all under the influence of alcohol, Alan Hruby, Duncan OK, killed his mother, father and teen sister because he had been cut off from family funds due to drug addiction all 'real' Americans, 16 busted in Lawton drug sweep- all 'real' Americans, Duncan OK teens shoot Chris Lane because they were bored- all real Americans....
It is easy to produce 'examples' of bad people of any stripe- from Charlie Manson to Mark Chapman. Wide claims are made by very biased sources about costs and crime... however as the Orange Guy's claims have been pushed back so to yours are more emotion than facts...
And FYI, my first comment was a joke so get over it... eace
Yes, property taxes go up because of the enormous expense of illegal immigrants in an area with a large number of illegal immigrants. You are naive if you aren't aware of that.
I live in a sanctuary city. Illegal immigrants do not go through background checks, of course. They DO come here to commit crimes. They DO come here to have anchor babies (I've known some myself.)
Yes, Virginia. There is a Santa Claus....for illegal immigrants. It's called America. There are groups that come here specifically to make money by stealing from who they consider to be "wealthy Americans." There are many honest ones, too. But many are criminals. Duh! They're escaping Mexican authorities.
Not only that, there are Nicaraguan "schools" that teach people there how to scam insurance companies in America. They then come here and do just that.
I'm sure there are other countries, as well.
I don't have to lose my job to be concerned that someone else has lost his. I look out the window and see for myself. Almost all the landscapers are hispanics who don't speak English. They used to be Americans. People come knocking at my door looking for housekeeping or yard work or handyman work...they have interpreters. People here lose the tailgates off their trucks, tires, lawn mowers, you name it. "Little Mexico" is not far from where I live.
Recently a neighbor returning home with her baby kept driving past her house because she saw a big black Tahoe parked on the side street, and walking away from her house to the Tahoe was an hispanic carrying a crowbar (the common tool to break in front doors). The police came and took a report (she got the license #). The police said this was probably an attempted break-in but something interfered.
This is a common occurrence where I live.
I had an intern, a young 17 year old girl, work where I worked. Her parents are here illegally. She told me they came here years ago so she could be born here, and be an American citizen. That way, they all get to stay, including extended family.
How the guys all get here and live here in the shadows: Some guys get together and buy a house for cash; it's a holding house, where new illegals can come and stay when they get here. The guys rotate out, as they get situated and able to live on their own. Then new illegals come in and stay in the house. When I was house hunting, I viewed a house where the guys were home. There must have been 10 or 15 guys living in that one house. They had installed a toilet in the hall, for convenience I guess, because of the number of men living there.
All the babies are paid for by us. The hospital admin. was on tv talking about how they need more money because there were triple the number of patients in the maternity ward than are meant to be there. They come in from other counties.
If you are a teacher, you're out of luck getting work here in the public school system, unless you are fluent in Spanish. They need bilingual or Spanish speaking teachers. I've met some of the kids. It's not unusual that kids going to American schools do not speak English.
Yes, we have an illegal immigration problem.
