"As far as I'm concerned, unless you're from California you really don't have an informed opinion on the effects of illegal immigration."

Oh B.S.! I was born and raised in California and I left when I was almost 30 because of the horrendous situation that existed AT THAT TIME! (and it has gotten much, much worse). I now life in Northern Illinois. I can tell you for a fact that the town of Cicero, Illinois is just as bad as most all of the towns in California that have gone to hell because of illegals. Cicero, Illinois is a MEXICAN town, dominated by Mexicans, where the only time the English language is spoken is when an American makes a wrong turn and ends up there, and is pleading for his or her life. The illegal Mexican population of the Chicago area is ENORMOUS! The Mexican flag is for more common that the American flag in many, many towns here. It is horrendous. So don't tell me only Californians can relate to the issue. I've lived in both places, and the two are comparable in many respects.
