I live in North Carolina, a state that is now within the top 10 in the country as far as illegal immigrant population. Ten years ago in my town we had less than 8 police officers, now we have over 40, the population as far as Legal Citizens has not doubled, but virtually all of the growth is from legal/non-legal hispanics. Thefts, gangs, shootings, graffiti and murders are all up 10 times more than those #'s ten years ago when my town consisted of a predominately white lower middle class/farmers. In fact I don't recall a time where there was a murder previous to our new arrivals. Also our schools used to be tops in the county, but now we are virtually at the bottom as far as grades, pass rates go. Recently the news paper out of the capitol city ran a report on the increase in Hispanic DUI's in the state, in a state with a population of 9 million people, less than 500,000 are hispanic. Hispanics accounted for over 40% of all DUI occurances. My question is why do people not want to keep these people from crossing our borders? Is money really worth the degradation of our towns and our country? I have worked with illegal and legal immigrants and to be quite honest none of the ones I have ever come a cross give a rat's ass about this place. Just send the money back home. Finally, if it is soo bad in their previous country of residence, why don't they get off they're lazy asses, go back home and create a better place for their families and countrymen, fight to make it better, that's what my forefathers did for this country. All I ever hear is "it's so bad in my country", and "I cannot feed my family in my country" I guess the soil is too useless in their country to grow their own food to feed their families. I guess no one cares anymore.
