Fine. If I commit a misdemeanor crime against you or your family, you'll let it go, right?
If you fail to declare something on your W-2, yeah I will let it slide if you do not get caught. If you commit a property crime, or crime of violence; you will be very happy that I choose proper legal recourse. If you fail to comply with city code by not keeping your easement clean and safe, I will not seek for the city to seize your property and evict you. I will pay somebody to clean it up and mow it, and attempt to recover in civil court. People that spout illegal alien as though all are criminal felons, are damaging to your anti-immigration cause. If you could develop a cohesive message around the healthcare issue, anti-immigration could make some inroads. The economic argument fails on current market conditions. The cultural failure to assimilate is based upon hype of isolated incidents. The simple abhorrence of people that look, speak, and act differently is really all that is left.
