I live and work in an area that is now easily populated by 50% Hispanic.
Drugs brought by Mexican cartels?
S/B 30%
I have noticed that as well. Plus many of the beggars on the streets are now white males who speak English with an American accent. Maybe white males are the last ones hired. Maybe these men used to have businesses but were undercut by other businesses hiring illegal labor. Maybe they couldn’t afford the ridiculous LA rents and didn’t want to live in an apartment with 19 roommates, like illegals do. Not sure the reasons, but like you, I’ve definitely noticed it.
