I live in Kansas. In my town and more specifically, my neighborhood, we have been invaded by illegals. These immigrants don't speak a word of English and are getting social security numbers, welfare, jobs, and buying homes. I would not be suprised if many of them were voting. In my block alone, there are 5 families now, when I moved in 8 years ago there was only one and they spoke English. White Students only make up 49% of my children's elementary when 4 years ago, they made up 75%. This school was lauded 4 years ago for well above-average math and reading assesments as compared to the rest of the district, but since has taken a nose-dive, the latest is that they are barely above 30th percentile. Only two kids out of 25 in my son's 4th grade class passed this assesment and he was one of them. When we go to the grocery store now, it is possible to walk all the way through without seeing another English speaking customer in the place.

Needless to say, we are moving. I am moving to a neighborhood that more reflects my values, my culture and a school district that actually educates most of it's students.

I just sold my house, or well, a Spanish-speaking realtor did anyway to a family with the name of Sanchez. Now there will be 6 Non-English speaking families on my block. Glad to get out. I can quit listening to Circus Music while they are detailing their cars in their front yards.
