Tell me something, I've never been to DC. Is it like most big cities with areas that are, shall we say, slummy? Areas that the politicians and elite would never have occasion to be in where they see how these illegals live? The part of my ancestors from the poor south fought, sweat, bled to make better lives for their coming generations, not to leave them to live in barrio's and poverty stricken neighborhoods with 10 times the people living in a house than what's it's capable of housing, full of crimes, drugs, you name it, and that's what these illegal neighborhoods look like.
Don't they see this? Of course they don't pick up their day laborers at "home" do they? They leave that to the "bosses", who are quite often legal "immigrants" or pick one up from a street corner. I can't imagine picking up anyone I didn't know and driving them to my home. Unbelievable.
Well they don't call them limousine liberals for nothing. They see the interior of their plush limos and out through tinted windows.
Some have incredible homes. Some have above average homes. None of them are spending the weekends in the poorer areas of town. Heck, I doubt many of them stay in town, but I don't know for sure.
You really should ask some of the DC chapter folks about what the town is like, for a more accurate opinion.
I've been there four or five times. It's tough to tell what areas are really run down, and what are just old and yet kept up, if you catch my drift. During the day the areas look rather nice. It is an older town. There are lots of old homes. Some are very nice. Others look more common.
I didn't actually see an area that I recognized during the daytime, as real poverty stricken. I hit the spots around the capital and, the mall, and north of the mall.
