My husband and I lived in Houston which was over-flowing with immigrants (and crime) and we ended up moving to rural Alaska where there are no immigrants, and I doubt any would want to come here because all benefits go to Alaska Natives (Eskimos). This is a very remote area without much infrastructure, which is part of the reason I like it here. Plus there is no crime and it's very beautiful.
I am thinking though our gov. is allowing all these people to flood in because they want them here. I'm not sure why all this is happening, especially in light of 9/11 and terrorist threats. It makes no sense to me at all. But the way I look at it, the America that we once knew is gone forever; this trend will not be reversed. I don't think anything can be done by us regular people though because I believe they want things to be this way, "they" being the Powers that Be.
