Apples arent illegal, using illegal labor to pick them is ILLEGAL. The farmers that use ILLEGAL labor to pick crops are no better in terms of morals that drug dealers that sell ILLEGAL drugs. Illegal means Illegal, and no man has a right to pick and choose what laws he has to follow, especially when use of illegal labor is technically considered a fellony.
As for the neighborhoods I mentioned, while its not politically correct to say this, I will say outright that the flood of illegal, and yes, in many cases even legal, immigrants who are mostly uneducated did cause a severe decline in the neighborhoods I mentioned, but of course, Free Republic is thankfully not about being politically correct.
Let's ban apples then, because you hate the ethnicity of those who pick them.
Those evil apples and damn Johnny Appleseed, they are the ruination of America.
