And in many other cities as well. .....thanks in no small part to GOP politicians whose greed (securing cheap/illegal labor for corporate contributors who keep the Party coffers stuffed) made them terminally near-sighted regarding the the future of our nation. ....and now all of us are paying dearly.
Hah.
And of course, children born to these immigrants are automatically U.S. citizens, which adds another complication.
Now let's look at how such policies reverberated negatively on other countries. Germany instituted a Gast Arbeiter (guest worker) program for immigrants, who stayed and blended into the German population. The Gast Arbeiters became a political force shaping German domestic and foreign policy to the detriment of the indigenous populations.
France has experienced an influx of North Africa immigrants who are causing political and social problems in that country. Such problems arise when there is no measured immigration influx.
Illegal immigrants will not return from whence they came after six years and will become part of the fabric of the US. They then will have a strong voice in shaping domestic and foreign policy. The current organized immigrant activity, carrying Mexican flags and shouting down anything that stands in their way, indicates they have learned the ropes of political agit-prop, and have already begun to achieve their hidden agenda.
Now here's another way through the illegal jungle: If employers who are officers of publicly-held companies are using company assets illegally by employing illegals, they are jeopardizing the investments of partners and shareholders.
