I guess you have a point. Although it still astounds me that entire towns plummet into poverty in such a short period of time. It takes years to build a stable community and within say 3-5 years its gone! Since you know way more than I do perhaps you can answer some nagging questions I have.
1. Why do latino's like to share housing? I'm not talking about roommates either. More like the folks behind me, 5 FAMILIES, kids and all.
2. Have latino's ever heard of birthcontrol? Don't give me the catholic thing, I am a catholic and only have 3 kids; thats all I thought I could afford.
3. In my immediate area, there has been a HUGE influx of latino's. While our schools were not perfect, why do the youth engage in gang activity.
4. Is graffiti a cultural thing? What does tagging a neighborhood mean?
5. Do you think it is fair that my sister-in-law, who is from Germany had to pay a few grand to get her legal status? Oh and by the way, she married an American citizen and she is a RN, a profession that is desperately needed here, more so than a landscaper.
