I doubt, DC, that you have to deal with the consequences of large numbers of illegal aliens in your neighborhood. Your business gets to profit from the availability of illegal labor, you go home and leave others to cope with the crime.

LOL! At least half of Montgomery County, Maryland...which is recognized as being one of the wealthiest in the nation...has turned into Tijuana North.

I can see the demographics personally...as I work in the entry level and lower move-up markets.

There is no crime to cope with, dirtboy.

As I wrote in here previously, I patronized the local 7-11 which became national news because of the hordes of day laborers loitering in the parking lot. Dozens and dozens of them. Not bothering anybody.

Yet, 100 feet adjacent, there is a homeless shelter filled with another minority group that incessantly begs for money and handouts.

The county has trampled on the citizen opposition to their plans to build another (3rd) day laborer shelter in the area.

And yes, I have indirectly profited...just like the County, State and Federal government is doing.

The vast majority of them are hardworking, honest and decent people. Get over it and stop whining.

The illegal immigrant is responsible for the economic boom in this country...like it or not.

This known as privatizing the profit while socializing (making the citizens and taxpayers pay) the costs. John Q Citizen gets the effed up schools and neighborhoods while DC takes home the profits. DC is probably small potatoes. This is much more pernicious when big business does it.
