I live in a suburb outside of Los Angeles, In the middle of Dem country. There are long standing situations like, special order #40 that prohibit LAPD from complying with INS, on immigration issues and turning illegal aliens over to them. The problem is, there is a disconnect everywhere. INS, Border Patrol releases them, and what is the point.
The people I have spoken to, almost 90% want massive deportations, are tired of having to deal with a society that is bi-lingual, and feel like a foreigner in their own town. The illegal latinos here and you can tell who they are because many of them do not speak much english, are working the system, the system protects them, and the rest of us have our hands tied.
It becomes a catch 22 because the local govt says it is feds job, the feds say it is a local job. Everyone is passing the buck here.
Frustrating.
I know. It's similar here in Virginia near DC although I'm sure not as bad. It's growing however.
What I don't understand is that this entire thing is a powder keg waiting to go up. You'd think that politicians would care about such future issues that could get them tossed from office in haste not to mention utterly ruin their communities.
The problem is that via PC America and Americans have gone soft allowing just about anything in the name of moral vacuousness.
