Many that do live in those areas don't understand your fear and anger.
Fear?
1) The loss of American jobs to illegal aliens who will work for less, bringing down wages in most industries.
2) American workers in the construction jobs and other similarly paid industries will have to compete with illegals who will work for minimum wage, so they won't be hired.
3) Bush's proposal will encourage millions more to come.
Anger?
1) American taxpayers have to pay for medical care, welfare, schooling, etc. etc. for illegal aliens. The employers won't help with medical coverage when they know the state will pay it.
2) More American cities will resemble Mexican colonias, with all the mess they bring with them. This has already happened in many California communities.
3) Loss of sovereignty of the U.S. - We have a President who doesn't respect U.S. laws and refuses to enforce existing immigration laws. Americans have to obey the laws, but illegal aliens don't.
4) Any kind of amnesty, no matter what they call it, is an insult to those immigrants who cared enough about our country to apply legally and waited their turn.
I find it strange that you don't have any of the same concerns about America.
Then they must be oblivious to the issue.
