Masses of people live off social services, crowding hospitals, medical offices, schools, shopping centers and markets. Factor in the higher crime rate and the cost for authorities and proper agencies to deal with all this and it becomes an extreme burden on local taxpayers of which I am one. Additionally, I own rentals, some in areas that have been overrun by these foreigners. I don’t have a problem with renting to them and do; we actually have a real nice couple in one of our units. Nice as they may be, I don’t believe they are honest as when we first met he offered to pay me cash each month and told me how I could save on taxes by reporting I received less than he was actually paying me. He owns a liquor store so I can imagine how he cheats on his taxes. In at least one community they have all but taken over making it nearly impossible for me to rent to anyone who is not one of them. So yes, I believe it has adversely affected both me and my community.
Oh yes, immigrants from all over like to cheat on their taxes. My daughter had a job in a sandwich owned by guy from eastern Europe and she was the only one working there that wasn’t an illegal. He paid her cash too. I anonymously turned him in to CA franchise board but I’m sure they didn’t care as he was an immigrant. I don’t like paying taxes either so it makes me mad to see the immigrants get away with it. That leaves the taxpayers footing the bill for them.
